With the arrival of summer, shark season has begun in New England as white sharks are spotted near Nantucket. Shark expert John Chisholm reminds beachgoers to be 'shark smart,' advising them to avoid areas with seals and maintain proximity to emergency responders. The resurgence of sharks can indicate a positive marine ecosystem recovery, yet it demands greater caution for swimmers. Tools like the Sharktivity app can help monitor shark activity, reinforcing the balancing act between human ocean usage and shark conservation efforts.
This is the time of year when we like to remind people to be 'shark smart' as white sharks return to the inshore waters of New England.
Increased shark sightings can be a positive sign of a recovering marine ecosystem, but this recovery also means that people should take even more care while swimming or surfing.
