As the summer days wind down, travelers are still<\/a> hitting the beaches to take dips in the ocean.<\/p>\n

Those in the Northeast may face a greater risk of shark attacks as new data shows an increase in great white sightings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Oqunquit Fire Department (OFD) in Maine shared a shark advisory last week on its Facebook page.\u00a0<\/p>\n

BEACHES WITH MOST SHARK ATTACKS AS AMERICANS PAY TRIBUTE TO ‘JAWS’ AND ACTIVIST WEIGHS IN<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“A credible sighting of a 6\u20138-foot great white shark was reported approximately 200 yards off Little Beach<\/a> near the mouth of the river,” OFD wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Officials put up a yellow flag on Aug. 19 to caution beachgoers and remind people to “follow posted advisories.”<\/p>\n

A great white shark was recently spotted at the beginning of this month by a drone showing the shark swimming in water near Scarborough, Maine.<\/p>\n

About 93 great white sharks<\/a> have been detected in Maine since late August 2020, according to the Maine Department of Marine Resources.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In July, the largest great white shark in the Atlantic<\/a> was recorded near Nantucket, Massachusetts, stretching nearly 14 feet in length, Fox News Digital previously reported. \u00a0<\/p>\n

There has also been an increase in great white sharks near the waters of Nova Scotia, Canada, according to a Marine Ecology Progress Series paper published in Inter-Research in May.<\/p>\n

Researchers attribute the increase to an overall growth in the population of great whites between the years 2019 and 2021.<\/p>\n

They also say it could be due to “changes in habitat use that cause the population distribution to shift northward during warmer months.”<\/p>\n

There have been 47 unprovoked\u00a0shark bites<\/a>\u00a0globally in 2024, with 28 taking place in the U.S., according to the Florida Museum of Natural History\u2019s International Shark Attack File (ISAF).<\/p>\n

Activist Julie Andersen, founder of the New York-based Shark Angels, previously told Fox News Digital that several\u00a0beach communities<\/a>\u00a0are seeing higher numbers of sharks this summer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Based on trends over the past few years, shark behavior is clearly shifting,” she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“From the West Coast to the East Coast and even parts of Mexico, sightings are increasing in places like California, Cape Cod, the Carolinas, Florida, and Baja.”<\/p>\n

Andersen said that in places like California or Cape Cod, Massachusetts, white shark populations are rebounding “thanks to decades of protection.” She said their return is a sign of healthier oceans.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Associated Press contributed to this report.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
