On August 26th, beachgoers at Rockaway Beach witnessed a thresher shark struggling on the sand. A video showcases its thrashing as it sought deeper waters.
Beachgoers like Gio fearlessly entered the water to help the stranded thresher shark, known for its long, whip-like tail used for stunning prey.
Recent years have seen quieter shark sightings along NYC shores, thanks to safety initiatives like shark drones to monitor ocean activity and warn swimmers.
Despite decreased shark sightings, alarming incidents have occurred, such as two shark reports last July at Rockaway Beach, keeping safety in focus.
