. “We have drones in the sky that watch over the waters. We have lifeguards on WaveRunners that watch over the waters.” This week, a 10-foot shark was seen near Robert Moses State Park, the same location that had delayed its opening until after July 4 due to a group of 50 sharks that were spotted off the coast.
Lifeguards are using drones to make three sweeps per day: one before opening, around midday, and a final time before the end of the day. They say that the perspective afforded by the drones allows them to get a view of the waters that is otherwise not available to them. After a recent spate of human encounters with sharks off the coast of New York's Long Island, authorities have deployed boats, ski jets and a squadron of drones to look for possible signs of danger.
