## Resource

Blacktip sharks cruised dangerously close to shore at Gulf State Park pier over the holiday weekend, sparking awe and alarm among beachgoers. These eight-foot predators, often seen in the area, became a viral sensation — especially with families nearby. The incident reignited conversations about ocean safety and sparked interest in “Lulu’s Law,” a proposed shark alert system modeled after Amber Alerts. It’s a reminder: we share the coast with wild animals — stay aware, respect their space, and enjoy the sea responsibly.
