## Resource

Shark sightings surge along Southern California beaches this warm spring, with juvenile great wharks, up to nine feet long, drawn north by warmer waters. Researchers tag these sharks to track their movements, while new data shows they learn to ignore humans as non-threats. Despite increased sightings and beach closures, attacks remain rare. This shark boom signals a thriving ocean ecosystem, with labs seeking state support to monitor these apex predators and ensure public safety.
