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.
