"Surge in Bull Shark Population off Alabama Coast Poses No Threat to Swimmers"

Researchers found a five-fold increase in the number of baby bull sharks off the coast of Alabama between 2003 and 2020, indicating a healthy ecosystem. Despite their aggressive nature, beachgoers need not worry about shark bites as bull sharks are not interested in humans. The sharks' presence in Mobile Bay reflects their ability to thrive in warming waters, but their vulnerability to extinction globally due to fishing and climate change remains a concern.
