Long Island state beaches are getting enhanced shark monitoring. On Tuesday, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced state parks will double their supply of drones and train a whole new team of drone operators. GusoffTV reports.
, with a record 35 sightings last summer and its own army of drones and lifeguards, Supervisor Don Clavin said he welcomes the added eyes in the sky.
"We have had more sightings in the last two years than you've probably had in maybe 20-30 years along the South Shore waters, and it's a combination of our waterways are cleaner, and that's a benefit. That brings in more feeder fish and with the feeder fish come a different species. That's the sharks," Clavin said."It's their home.
"When you see an increased patrol, it's increased awareness for everyone that they should be careful and looking out for sharks," another person said. Swimmers are also reminded to do their part by avoiding areas with seals and schools of fish, and by not swimming at dusk and dawn.
