Shark study finds humans, juvenile great whites coexisting peacefully along SoCal coast

Researchers used drones to study juvenile great white sharks along the Southern California coastline and how close they swim to humans.
The sharks grouped together mainly in southern Santa Barbara County and central San Diego County, often swimming within 50 yards of surfers and swimmers.
On 97% of days surveyed between 2019 and 2021, the sharks were spotted near humans, but there were no reported bites.
The lack of aggression shows that sharks and humans can share the ocean safely, at least when the sharks are still juveniles.
The study covered 26 beaches in Southern California, where surfers, swimmers and juvenile white sharks appear to coexist peacefully.
