Scarborough Beach Goes High Tech Against Sharks | Boston News

Sharks are circling Maine’s shores—and Scarborough Beach is going full tech to keep swimmers safe. Drones scan the water, jet skis chase away predators, and ATVs relay real-time updates. The beach’s private ownership lets them deploy cutting-edge gear, including lifeguard dogs and more staff than many state beaches. Even 71-year-old head lifeguard Greg Wilfert had a close call with a shark. While drones help, they’re not foolproof—sharks move fast, and education remains key. With last year’s record shark sightings, experts aren’t sure if this is a blip or a trend—but Scarborough’s staying one step ahead.
