![]() Earlier today, Long Island’s Smith Point Beach was shuttered after a 41-year-old surfer was bitten on the leg by what he believed was a sand tiger shark, NBC New York reported. The sightings come amid a rash of attacks off the East Coast this month. In the most recent two sightings, on July 13, a shark named Granese was recorded off Nauset Beach, while another named Kendal was also seen. A great white named Luke was spotted cruising the waters off of Cape Cod. The following day, a shark whom conservators had previously dubbed Luke was detected swimming near the beach in the Gulf of Maine. The first sighting occurred on July 11, of an 11-foot great white shark - which is the largest predatory fish, growing to 21 feet long and weighing up to 5,000 pounds - in Chatham Harbor. “They’re a constant presence from June to the fall.” “Just know that large sharks are here,” Megan Winton, a scientist with the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy, said during a press conference in Chatham on Wednesday, USA Today reported. The quartet of apex predator sightings were recorded from Cape Cod via the Massachusetts-based Sharktivity app, which tracks great white activity, the Sun reported. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, four great white sharks were spotted over three days off the New England coast amid a spate of attacks along the Eastern Seaboard.
