Shattering Misconceptions: Experts Reveal the Truth about Sharks' Proximity to Shore

A study conducted by the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy suggests that white sharks spend about 47% of their time in shallow waters close to shore, posing a potential risk to recreational water users. While the overall risk of shark attacks is low, there is a need for shark-related public safety practices in coastal regions. Other shark species, such as bull sharks, are also known to thrive in shallow waters. It is important for individuals to take precautions when venturing into the water, such as staying with a buddy, avoiding low light hours, and being cautious in areas known to attract sharks.
