Lifeguards at Smith Point and Cupsogue beaches started their shifts an hour early on Monday morning to scan the water for signs of sharks. Over the weekend, a shark bit a lifeguard who was in the water for a training exercise.
Lifeguards on paddle boards patrolled the shoreline. They also used a remote-controlled drone to get a look at the water from above.
Suffolk County Chief of Lifeguards Kevin Kolar, who has been a lifeguard since 1986, said he'd never seen anything like this."As a lifeguard, you hear stories in Australia and California and you never think it's going to happen to you until it does," Kolar said, "and you don't know how you're going to react."
