Summary
Ten years after surviving a near-fatal shark attack, Maria Korcsmaros swam off Corona del Mar State Beach with fellow survivors to prove fear doesn’t have to keep you from the ocean. As experts warn of a “sharky summer” along Southern California’s coast, safety tips include swimming in groups, avoiding dawn/dusk and murky waters, and staying calm if you spot a shark—don’t panic, keep eye contact, and if attacked, punch its nose or grab its gills. If bitten, fight back targeting sensitive areas and get medical help immediately. While shark encounters are rising, most don’t end in bites—sharks rarely see humans as prey. The Shark Lab at Cal State Long Beach is working to educate the public but faces funding hurdles, with new legislation in the works to support their vital research. Stay informed, prepared, and aware to enjoy the ocean safely. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
