Shark sighting shakes up Scarborough beaches

A possible great white shark, estimated at 10-12 feet long, was spotted off Scarborough’s coast near Richmond Island and Scarborough Beach this week. Lifeguards, some with decades of experience, say they’ve never seen an adult shark this close before. While the water is currently clear, officials are urging everyone to stay alert and follow safety protocols if another sighting happens. Strong currents have also led to several rescues, so even strong swimmers are being advised to stick close to shore. How do you feel about swimming with this news in mind? Would you change your beach plans? #Science #Scarborough #SharkSighting
