Why Great White Shark Sightings Are Surging Along U.S. Coastlines

Public attention on great white sharks has spiked due to a combination of high-profile coastal sightings, temporary beach closures, and a reported bite along the U.S. East and West Coasts. Marine researchers attribute the heightened visibility to a mix of warming ocean temperatures, abundant bait fish populations, and significantly expanded drone surveillance.
