鲨鱼岸边觅食 沙滩游客需小心

2011-09-27来源:ABC news

Well, the last big good beach weekend of the summer is upon us, but many beach-goers on both coasts will like be avoiding the water altogether. Sharks, and lots of them have been turning up in some very unusual places this summer and not just the docile and harmless kinds. ABC's Ebby Bujo is along the pacific in Malibu, California with the latest here.

Hello, Ebby.

Hello, Josh, some people might be standing out of water, but the surface here in Malibu don't seem to mind at all.

You know what that music means. 'Shark!' 'to shore' But it's not so much fear as fascination. That's giant shark Gokus to the San Diego beach, gathering to catch a pig, ok, maybe a picture of a reported great white.

We actually will bikes down,  we catch no ones in the water.

There were two shark sightings here in a week, it's not just in San Diego of Texas.

That's a bad boy.

This little boy caught a 7-foot shark while fishing with his dad in a kayak, Florida, two surfers riding a wave and out of nowhere, this shark burst out of the water. And tourists snapped this photo of a fin near a swimmer of the coast of Rhode Island. Off Cacard, 35 great white sightings this year alone. Experts say we're seeing more sharks in unusual places. Why? The seal populations are exploding as waters get warmer off both coasts and they're the shark's favour food. But with humans in the water too, it's not always clear who the meal might be.

This summer alone, several shark attacks in Carolinas, most of the victims were children. Six year old Lucy Medomn was bitten in North Carolina.

I heard her scream, and so I immediately turned towards her and at that point, I saw a shark right next to her.

I felt like it like, bit my leg and felt like it's almost stay there.

Statistics show uNPRovoked shark attacks have risen sharply in last 110 years, because more people are in the water, but fatalities are down, because of better emergency care.

The southern Californian areas, pacific areas like Sunset Boulevard down here in Malibu are literally shark nurseries.

Cart Crewey, the owner of Malibu divers says young sharks prefer fish to humans.

The thing to keep in mind is they are not a threat, you're more likely to be killed by a toaster than you're to be attacked by a shark.

Beach-goers and gogglers will be out of in full force at the beaches all over California this weekend, but many people may be enjoying the sun from the sand.
