When we were kids (50 + years ago), we were in the water for hours all summer long. It seems like there are many more shark incidents these days. Would never go in the ocean ever again. I'm petrified. Yes, it's nature, but I'm fine in a pool, thank you.

@G2thesecondpower 13 дней назад

Maybe, but you probably had sharks nearby when you are swimming as a kid and just didn't know it. I grew up swimming off the coast of california. I spent Summers with my dad in Santa Barbara, where I went swimming and Boogie boarding every day. Ever since watching the Malibu artist I realized we must have been in the water with them all the time - we just couldn't see them. We (mostly) aren't on the menu. If we were, there'll be far more attacks than there are, and nobody would ever dare go in the ocean.

@mommy2libras 13 дней назад

It's more that with the advent of the internet, instant communication and the fact that we feel the need to report on everything that happens and news has to be updated every 5 minutes to stay competitive that you hear about more shark incidents than in the past. The sharks have always been there, even in water shallow enough where people are swimming. But you didn't used to hear anything other than local news, unless maybe someone got torn apart by a shark completely. And what national news you'd get on TV at 6 pm or the radio didn't bother itself with individual tragedies for the most part. Same with people believing kidnapping is suddenly more prevalent "these days". It isn't, you just didn't hear about things happening in Omaha, NE or Gulfport, MS if you lived in Virginia or Ohio or something. Now it all spreads further faster because we're all always online and seeing what happens everywhere.

On the Discovery channel you learn about sharks 🦈. They have talked about sharks are moving closer to shore where small fish are swimming. She acted surprised to see a shark when it had come upon a seal. The ocean is the shark’s home and they have been known to eat seals, turtle’s, small fish and other animals. I have been to Florida and there are sharks in Florida as well as California where I used to live.

@mommy2libras 13 дней назад

They've always been that close to the shore. You never realized how many hung out there because just like now, they rarely attack people. And 20 or 30 years ago, if you lived in Destin you didn't hear about people simply seeing sharks or even minor attacks most of the time if it happened 100 miles away.

I have tracked many sharks on the Ocearch app. They definitely go up and down the coast. Love seeing where they are. They provide a picture, name and where they last pinged. They also provide a history of their pings. The pings happen when they breach the water and a satellite can get a signal. It's fun to see where they go. They are having a contest right now to win a shark expedition with them and witness shark tagging.
