Drones are an increasingly popular tool for spotting sharks well before they approach the shoreline, both for safety and research reasons.A park ranger on Long Island holds a drone that will spend the summer in the skies above the south shore.“There’s a certain grid they follow so that they cover as much territory as possible,” Blakeman said. “It’s a well-thought-out plan. We’re very meticulous.”
For the first time, Saladino said, informational safety flyers will be passed out to visitors at Tobay Beach, the town’s popular stretch of sand facing the Great South Bay and Atlantic Ocean. “We realized we were seeing more sharks closer to shore since around 2019,” LaCognata said. “We had a great white last year about three miles offshore — we’re getting sharks from down south now too, spinner sharks and bull sharks. We had not seen those in the past,” LaCognata said, adding that he’s observed animals like whales and dolphins making their way closer to shore as well.
“It’s very unlikely that there’s more sharks, based off their reproduction rates,” Long Island Aquarium assistant curator Teddy Tilkin told The Post.
