## Resource

Sharks are making waves on the East Coast — literally — as beachgoers brace for swims amid a spike in sightings and closures. After a swimmer at Jones Beach suffered a nasty foot injury blamed on a sand tiger shark, officials reopened the beach with new safety measures. Rockaway Beach in Queens has seen 23 shark sightings and 23 closures since May — 16 in just the first five days of July. New York’s response? Drones now patrol coastal waters, scanning for sharks and other marine life. Experts say shark attacks are rare, especially with real-time alerts — think of them like Amber Alerts for the ocean. Plus, you can now track tagged sharks live via the OCEARCH Shark Tracker, helping both scientists and swimmers stay informed and safe.
