"It’s that time of year again: the thick of summer when sharks have caught
America’s attention.
Unwanted interactions and shark sightings have made national headlines, and
shark bites in popular tourist destinations have prompted temporary closures.
In New York, Gov. Kathy Hochul deployed dozens of shark-monitoring drones to
parts of the state after Long Island authorities reported five non-fatal shark
bites over two days.
It may feel like you’ve been hearing about these large creatures more often
this summer, and that just might be the case. Experts say that while estimating
population numbers is difficult, there are signs that some shark populations
off US coasts are slowly rebounding after decades of dramatic declines – the
result of longtime conservation efforts across the country that are beginning
to pay off.
“Sharks are coming back. Their numbers are growing,” said Dr. Bob Hueter, chief
scientist for OCEARCH, a nonprofit ocean research and education organization.
“They’re not overpopulated, they’re not even probably close to what they were
back in the 1940s and 1950s. But they are making a comeback.”
But do more sharks make American beaches more dangerous?
Actually, no. But it will take some getting used to, experts said.
Here’s what to know."
