This large number of specimens also surprised the researchers, according to the head of the laboratory, Chris Lowe, because at this time of year, sharks swim south as the ocean water cools.

Information from CBS reveals that despite the increasing number of sharks, there have been no more shark attacks involving surfers because structures at Long Beach Shark Lab warn water rescuers before the arrival of predators, who in turn swimmers are notified.
