Shark update

Counted 16 people in the water before 6am today, most of whom either didn't see or ignored the shark warning sign at the top of the steps. Unless it says "free," I have found that folks don't read signs.

Sean van Sommeran of the Pelagic Shark Research Foundation (Google it for more info) says that there have been sightings of Great White pups and yearlings in the Monterey Bay this year for the first time. "It's always a good idea to post alerts and updates regarding shark sightings in order to inform and adapt visitors to the area and our shared coastal regions... It's for real, so always be careful and alert while enjoying the marine environment and coastal waterways."

Just because they're out there doesn't mean that you don't need to be afraid.

Happy Father's Day!
