Researchers at California State University, Long Beach, used drones to study juvenile white sharks along the Southern California coastline and how close they swim to humans in the water.
This drone image released by researchers with the Shark Lab at Cal State Long Beach, shows a juvenile white shark swimming next to a standing man on a long board along the Southern California coastline, April 28, 2022. Researchers at CSULB Shark Lab, used drones to study juvenile white sharks and how close they swim to humans in the water. There were no reported shark bites in any of the 26 beaches surveyed between January 2019 and March 2021. That's right, “Jaws” fans.
In those two spots, the juvenile sharks swam near humans on 97% of the days surveyed, the researchers wrote in a paper published Friday. The sharks often swam within 50 yards of the wave breaks — closest to surfers and stand-up paddle boarders.
