"They're very sensitive to overfishing. Populations recover slowly. So there's tremendous pressure on sharks right now," Weddle said.
"My biggest advice to beachgoers is always swim where there's a lifeguard. Lifeguards are trained to recognize the presence of sharks, but also things that are much more dangerous like riptides," Weddle added."I think a much bigger threat in New Jersey that people need to be aware of than the sharks themselves."You can track some sharks through nonprofit Ocearch, which has a database online.
. Ocearch showed an 11-foot white shark named Freya swimming off the Jersey coast earlier this month.
