"In 2018, we received funding from the state of California to start the California Shark Beach Safety Program. And that was because there were more and more white sharks being seen along the California coastline, particularly along public beaches," Lowe said. She is a native of Massachusetts and is based in Orlando, Florida.
"And this raised a concern for lifeguards who are responsible for keeping people safe. So they asked us, why are the sharks here? And are they a risk to people?" Lowe said. "And at the time, we didn't really know." Story tips and ideas can be sent to sarah.rumpf@fox.com and on X: @s_rumpfwhitten.
