Long Island shark attacks require more beach patrols, monitoring says N.Y. Gov. Hochul

We’re gonna need a bigger boat.

Gov. Hochul is ordering state agencies to increase patrols and monitoring of shark activity at Long Island beaches following a spate of recent sightings and attacks.

Officials will use patrol boats, drones and helicopters to keep an eye on ocean waters and step up public outreach to inform beachgoers about the dangers of the underwater predators.

“It’s earlier notification, but it’s a coordinated effort as well as adding more lifeguards to the beaches for surveillance,” the governor said during an unrelated event in Manorville on Monday.
