– “If we want to make sure that our great grandchildren can eat fish sandwiches, we need lots of big sharks.” That’s the message from Chris Fischer, founder of the Ocearch shark tracker, after three great white sharks were spotted off New York-area beaches in recent weeks, the Independent reports. According to the tracker, two of the sharks were spotted off New Jersey’s Jersey Shore on July 1; the third was spotted off the Hamptons coastline on June 4. The sharks’ electronic tags were heard pinging off the Hamptons coastline on June 8. “People should not be terrified of an ocean that’s full of sharks,” Fischer tells the Independent. “They keep everything in balance. So, if we want to make sure that our great grandchildren can eat fish sandwiches, we need lots of big sharks.” Fischer believes the number of sharks off New York-area beaches is “no more than normal,” the New York Post reports. The concern over the number of sharks was heightened after a 7-foot fish washed up on Rockaway Beach in New York on July 1.
