A study found that young sharks are hanging out near SoCal beaches during busy daytime hours -- but that doesn't necessarily mean surfers and swimmers need to stay out of the water.
Over the years, researchers say they have found these congregations of juvenile white sharks have moved away from places like Santa Monica Bay or Will Rogers State Beach to waters off Torrey Pines, Solana Beach, and Carpinteria. The research was done with high-density acoustic arrays placed offshore tracking signals tagged sharks.
With summer heat in full swing, and the Fourth of July holiday weekend ahead of us, researchers say that even though there are more sharks out there than surfers and swimmers might be able to see, they don't necessarily have to stay out of the water. "These are wild animals and wild animals are unpredictable," Anderson said."But honestly, you have far more concerns driving the 405 Freeway on the way to the beach."Thanks for reading CBS NEWS.Please enter valid email address to continue
