Practice Shark Safety
Posted on: August 17, 2018 - 8:53pm
We remind beach goers to practice shark safety at all beaches:
- Don't swim where seals are present.
- Don't swim too far from shore.
- Swim in groups.
- Avoid wearing shiny jewelry or other accessories (which look like fish scales to sharks).
- Avoid cloudy water (sharks could mistake you for prey).
- Avoid surfing alone.
- Avoid areas with signs of baitfish or fish feeding activity - watch for diving seabirds.
- Be aware that sharks may be present between sandbars or near steep drop offs.
