Sharks Close Down Cali Beaches, But Not On Porpoise
For those planning to splish splash with their flippy floppies this weekend in Santa Cruz, the plans have changed. Apparently Shark Week just doesn't want to end, but instead of it being in high definition, it’s being played out for real off the coast of the Golden State.
This week, a hungry shark proceeded to nom nom nom on a porpoise. The poor porpoise washed ashore, and researchers are trying to figure out what kind of finned critter exactly was responsible for the attack. Obviously with beach visitors spotting sharks off shore, people are being kept out of the water.
The beauty of nature will likely limit summer fun through the weekend at Seacliff and New Brighton state beaches. Also, it appears that these hungry critters have been looking for a meal elsewhere; Stinson Beach outside of San Francisco was also closed down early in the week for the same reason.
Unfortunately, we’ve got absolutely no tips on how to avoid sharks, other than checking out some of the world’s coolest pools.
