Great White populations are on the increase thanks to an increase in the seal population.

Many of the apex predators have been tagged with tracking devices so we can pro-actively avoid the waters the tagged boogers are in and not be confused for it's favorite meal.

Be mindful of the waters you are in and ID potential threats with the beaches you may travel to this summer. Two weeks ago my family and I were in Panama City Beach to discover a bull shark had been frequenting the beaches on occasion. THanks to the local helicopter ride business he would alert the lifeguards as to whether the bull was too close to shore near unknowing swimmers, snorkelers, etc…and we would clear the water to be safe.

If ever encountered by a shark that has confused you for food the greatest way to defend yourself is to hit smack on the nose or gouge the eyes.

Happy beach going and stay safe! :Thumbs:
