A white shark swimming along the Southern California coast in 2022. Local researchers and state authorities say “shark park” in the Aptos area has experienced a record number of juvenile white shark sightings this summer. APTOS — It has become the summer of the juvenile white shark at a small cove in the Aptos area this year with researchers estimating that numbers of the sleek ocean predator have reached an all-time high even after a decade of lofted trends.
“As the water temperatures are warming, and these warming events are more frequent due to climate change, all kinds of species are migrating away from the equator and heading towards the poles,” added Jorgensen. The relatively small Aptos enclave sits around 65 degrees during the summer while waters only a few miles south in Moss Landing have been measured in the high 50s, said Jorgensen.
“Just always be aware of your surroundings and check in with public safety and lifeguard staff, who are patrolling on the beaches, for current conditions,” said McKenna. “This isn’t abnormal. This has become more of the norm for this particular stretch of beach.”Wayside fire causes Richmond BART station closure, train delays
“It offers a great vantage point for seeing the sharks right there and getting to be close to them, but like a healthy, respectful distance as well,” said Jenny Duckart, general manager of the charter group. “Everybody can feel comfortable and get a great experience out there.”
