Written by A portion of the ocean in Huntington Beach will remain closed until Friday morning, after a shark was spotted feeding on a sea lion carcass at Sunset Beach yesterday. It was the third shark sighting in the area within one week. Trevor McDonald, Huntington Beach Fire Department Marine Safety chief, said safety is a priority and “Our coastlines are monitored every day.” Last week, a 24-hour ocean closure was in place near lifeguard Tower 3 after a shark exhibited aggressive behavior toward a human.
On Wednesday, there were two more shark sightings, according to McDonald. A juvenile great white shark was seen swimming off Goldenwest Street just outside the break, prompting signs to be posted for four hours. Then, around 10 a.m., a 10-foot great white shark was spotted actively feeding on a sea lion carcass at Sunset Beach. “When a shark has a large food source, they have the potential to be defensive of their food source,” McDonald said. “They don’t want that going away; they don’t want to share with anybody or another animal. So that’s another reason why we don’t want surfers or swimmers in or around a feeding event like this one we observed.” Ocean experts say to expect more shark sightings through the summer. “It is gearing up to be a sharky summer,” said Chris Lowe, the director of the Shark Lab at California State University, Long Beach. In March, Lowe explained the water is unusually warm for the time of year, forming a “marine heat wave.”
But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.
