SHARKS IN SO CAL | WHY SO MANY SIGHTINGS?
By Jack Haworth
Recently, standup paddlers were enjoying a pleasant cruise off the coast of Capistrano Beach, CA when an unsettling message came from high above.
"Attention in the water: This is the Orange County Sheriff's Department .… You are paddleboarding next to approximately 15 great white sharks."
The helicopter circling above blared that the sharks were as close as the surfline and urged the paddlers to “exit the water in a calm manner.”
Not sure how calm their manner was, but the paddlers would exit the water unscathed. This was just another chapter in what has become an unsettling trend in Southern California.
