Great white sharks are now showing up in places along the California coast where locals never expected them. Warmer ocean temperatures have pushed young sharks north, turning spots like Monterey Bay into new shark nurseries. This means more surprise encounters for swimmers and surfers—like the recent close call at Rio Del Mar Beach that led to a 48-hour closure. Scientists are tracking these changes with high-tech tools, and lifeguards are sharing tips to keep everyone safe. How do you feel about sharing the waves with these new neighbors? Is this a sign of bigger changes in our oceans? #Science #CaliforniaBeaches #SharkSightings
