El Niño Brings Sharks Closer to Shore | Venice Beach News

El Niño’s warming waters are drawing more young great white sharks closer to California shores, prompting emergency fishing bans to protect both sharks and beachgoers. Scientists are tracking the sharks with drones, while regulators restrict certain gear near the coast. Though some anglers say they don’t use banned equipment, tackle shops report demand for heavier gear. Researchers stress coexistence—sharks often swim near swimmers without incident. If you spot a large or erratic shark, head back to shore. With shark bites rare, awareness and caution can keep both humans and sharks safe.
