• Are NYC swimmers facing more shark attacks than normal this summer? Experts reveal what's going on (timesnewsnetworks.com) — Wantagh beachgoers are seeing more shark-monitoring drones at Jones Beach State Park, where lifeguard supervisor Cary Epstein and others use them to spot sharks and close swimming zones when needed. Experts say sightings are up partly due to better technology and slightly longer shark stays, but actual bites remain rare, and they share clear tips for staying safe in local waters.
