Description

For a lot of people, summertime means beach season. But depending on where you live, you may have seen an increase in reported shark encounters over the past few years. In this episode, we're going off the radar with Greg Metzger, the Chief Field Coordinator for the shark work conducted through the South Fork Natural History Museum on Long Island. We'll be discussing how our changing climate is causing an increase in shark/human interactions, debunking myths about sharks, and telling us how beachgoers can stay safe this summer. Guest hosted by Brian Pietrus!
