Experts say we as humans pose a bigger threat to sharks than they do to us.
"They're very sensitive to overfishing. Populations recover slowly. So there's tremendous pressure on sharks right now," Weddle said.
"My biggest advice to beachgoers is always swim where there's a lifeguard. Lifeguards are trained to recognize the presence of sharks, but also things that are much more dangerous like riptides," Weddle added."I think a much bigger threat in New Jersey that people need to be aware of than the sharks themselves."You can track some sharks through nonprofit Ocearch, which has a database online.
. Ocearch showed an 11-foot white shark named Freya swimming off the Jersey coast earlier this month.
