The state will increase shark patrols and surveillance after a series of shark encounters on Long Island.
Gov. Kathy Hochul also ordered more drone and helicopter monitoring in the waters at Long Island State Park beaches.State Parks will increase lifeguard staffing by 25% at ocean beaching through overtime. This will translate to approximately two to four lifeguards within each field, which will boost surveillance for sharks and other marine life from the shore, by surfboats, and through an enhanced drone beach surveillance program.
Under State Park shark safety guidelines, swimming is suspended following a shark sighting so the shoreline can be inspected by drone. Swimming is only allowed to resume at least an hour after the last sighting in order to better protect beach visitors. To minimize the risk of shark interactions, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation advises the following shark safety tips: • Avoid areas with schools of bait fish, often characterized by fish splashing on the surface, diving sea birds, or the presence of marine mammals such as dolphins.• Avoid murky water.• Swim close to shore, where your feet can touch the bottom.
