"From the Shore" MMSikes |
Maybe if you're not going into the water, they aren't dangerous. Maybe if they are toothless sharks, they are not so dangerous. Still they looked like pretty large creatures, and one vacationer said they were as close to the shore as the knee-deep water.
This is an annual migration of thousands of sharks. Last year about this time, I took photographs of the same area of the waters at Palm Beach. I didn't catch photos of any sharks, but if I'd been patient and waited I might have. After all I heard they were there.
The beaches are beautiful right now. But maybe it's best to look and not touch.

I have a friend who teaches snorkling and scuba diving, and he said if people really knew how many (and how close) sharks occupied the Atlantic waters, they'd never go into the ocean.
And with the climate change there will be more and more in the coming years.
To see them all together and up close must be an amazing sight, though. Researchers do that all the time. They pet them, too...
Alex, I think about that more than I used to! Thanks for your comment.
Amos, I cannot imagine why anyone would want to pet them. Thanks!
sharks are wonderful but yes better to look on from a distance!
