Shark Sightings Increased This Summer, Causing Concern For Swimmer Safety



In the past hundred years, New York has recorded 13 shark bites. Five of those happened just this year. Shark sightings have increased this summer and many have even washed up on the shores of popular beaches. While none of the bites were fatal, New York Governor Kathy Hochul increased patrols from land, air and sea. Biologist Chris Scott said it’s not necessarily more sharks but an overall increase in fish they eat moving closer to shore, thanks to conservation.

  19. Lol Did people forget that sharks live in water? Humans tear down trees then they complain about seeing bears and other wild animals. And then we invade the waters and complain about fish and sharks?

  20. NBC deleted the Meet the Press Daily video while I was halfway through. Thx

  21. Biden is the worst president ever in the history of America Biden is a weak old man and a embarrassment too America his staff and cabinet are the laughing stock of the world and his vice president should go to Jamaica and apologize for her families transgressions against the Jamaican people. Disgusting

  22. Nobody told us there were fish in the water. The children were frightened.
