Chris Lowe, director of the Shark Lab, said he stretched these funds out to six years until the end of September.The Cal State Long Beach Shark Beach Safety Program was started because the state wanted to increase public awareness and education around these sharks, not because the population increase posed a danger to beachgoers.
“We have 300 sharks swimming around with active transmitters,” Lowe said. “We tag about 60 sharks a year, and that actually is a lot of work, getting out and getting transmitters in those sharks. Plus, we have 100 acoustic receivers all along Southern California beaches, and it takes my crew about a month to download all those receivers and get that data to lifeguards. So all these things are very time consuming.
