Rockaway Beach re-opened for swimming on Wednesday, two days after a beachgoer was attacked by a shark there, officials said – as the FDNY and NYPD announced they are using drones to scan the waters for shark activity. The city Parks Department confirmed late Wednesday morning that the beach was open – after it was closed off “as a safety precaution” on Tuesday. Top FDNY and NYPD officials said that they were using drones to monitor for sharks at Rockaway Beach and other locations.

The fire department’s drones are tasked with scanning for shark activity along a 10-mile stretch of beach in the Rockaways, during the swimming season. “We’re going to scan for sharks, and other things also,” the police official said. “We’re also looking for distressed swimmers, any crime – whatever a drone can help us with, that’s what we’re going to try to do.”
Drones detected a potential sighting of a single shark on Rockaway Beach around 11:15 a.m. Tuesday, but “of course since we had the beaches closed, it was fine,” Rodriguez-Rosa noted.Drones and boats will also monitor the water for sharks during swimming hours, FDNY First Deputy Commissioner Joseph Pfeifer said.Less than 24 hours earlier – shortly before 6 p.m. Monday – Tatyana Koltunyuk, 65, was attacked by a shark off the shore near Beach 59th Street, sources said.
