1 California
A recent study published in the journalBiological conservation used a model to predict how theLarge white shark population Go trend in California. The researchers expect it to be an increase in the large white sharks of the central coast of the state, especially in an area called "red triangle", which starts in Bodega Bay, extends to the islands. Farallon and ends just south of Monterey Bay. . The area has got its name because these three areas create a lateral triangle, and red refers to the whole sealblood in the water of shark attacks,Salvador Jorgensen, PhD, a senior research scientist at Monterey Bay's aquarium, said Kqed.
"It's the area with the highest concentration of white sharks in northeastern Pacific," Jorgensen said. The study predicts that there is a little less than 300 sharks residing in the region of the Red Triangle, but Jorgensen noted that large white sharks are often outside the red triangle and even along the coast.
The increase in large white sharks is probably due to an increase in their main source of food, marine mammals, such as seals. These sharksGrow up up to 20 feet, can weigh to 2,000 pounds and live since 70 years, reportsHello America. Co-author of studyTaylor Chapple, PhD, saysHello America"Every year, about 60% of the sharks we saw were animals we knew from previous years, so that showed us that they had real fidelity in these areas and that they come back systematically." In anticipation of the potential increase in sharks in California coming this season, make sure you stay aware of your environment and swim in groups.

2 Hawaii
Hawaii is another state that needs to worry about large white sharks. Just a few weeks ago, aShark swam to a six-year-old girl playing on the beach in Oahu. His mother even captured a video of the shark cruise in shallow waters. Less than five miles away and just a day away, a 14 year old boy,Parker Blanchette, was bitten by a shark while surfing and requested more than 100 stitches. He said to Fox 59 that the bite felt like a"Punch" at his leg.
Clark AbbeyThe rescuer supervisor from the beach where Blanchette was bitten, told Fox 59 a significant increase in sharks during this period "because they try to give birth to their puppies". He added that if you see a shark in the water, you must respect it and surf another day.
3 Massachusetts
A 2014 study published in the journalPlos aused various recordings over 200 years old atUnderstanding models of large white sharks on the East coast. The researchers found that sharks appear mainly between Massachusetts and New Jersey during the summer and this year, Cape Cod, Massachusetts is preparing.
CAPE COD TIME reports that theNumber of sharks and seals The steady increase since federal regulations have been put in place to combat the exhaustion of animals due to hunting and fishing. Although taking note that sharks and seals are important in the "maintenance of a healthy ocean ecosystem", the region also includes the danger they can pose to local swimmers and surfers.
In advance of the holiday weekend, the acoustic receptors have been strategically placed on the Cape Code coast that will detect marked sharks and sign it on the SharkTractivity application of the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy to alert the Beachgoers . According toBoston Herald, 118 individual sharks weredetected last year This represented a total of 134,631 detections. A recent study published inWildlife Research found that large white sharks of Cape Cod and Nantucket spend nearly half of their time atdepths of 15 feet or less. The experts warn that if you notice seals from the Massachusetts coast, you should avoid entering the water that dayMore seals could mean more sharks, according to NPR.
