And I grew up with a boat on long Island.

You really don't want to know how many sharks there are within wading distance of the shore.

There is even a thresher nursery off long Island. We see mako, great white, nurse, thresher, brown, and a few other species.

Attacks may be rare, but sharks aren't.
