Two swimmers are recovering from a scare after they were apparently attacked by sharks in separate encounters off the shores of Long Island in New York
People are seen at Field 3 at Robert Moses State Park in West Islip, N.Y., Tuesday, July 4, 2023. Two swimmers were apparently attacked by sharks off the shores of Long Island on Tuesday, a day after two others reported being attacked while enjoying the water at popular New York beaches. NEW YORK — — Two swimmers were apparently attacked by sharks off the shores of Long Island on Tuesday, a day after two others reported being attacked while enjoying the water at popular New York beaches.
“We want to make sure swimmers are safe,” Long Island State Parks Regional Director George Gorman told Newsday. After a spate of attacks last year, state parks officials have increased patrols and deployed more drones to scout the waters for possible danger. Tuesday's incidents happened about 60 miles apart, including one off Fire Island Pines — not far from another attack the day before when a 15-year-old reported being bitten on one of his feet by a shark while surfing.“She didn't see what bit her, the lifeguards didn't know what bit her, the drone operator checked the area, we didn't see," Gorman said."So we can't definitively say what bit her.
