Show Notes

Lifeguards in Newport Beach spotted an eight-foot juvenile great white shark near a surfer, prompting a beach closure and reopening. Experts link this to warmer waters due to climate change and El Niño, leading to a rise in shark sightings. Despite the increase, shark incidents remain rare, with most being minor. Researchers suggest sharks are adapting to humans and mostly ignore us. As conditions warm, expect more sightings, but staying in lifeguarded areas, swimming in groups, and avoiding dawn/dusk can keep ocean lovers safer.
