I called this! Also, who the fuck writes this one-sentence-per-paragraph style articles?
Luckily some context is provided:
“Last year, eight people reported being bitten by sharks swimming in the shallows off Long Island’s beaches.
‘This year, we’ve already had five bites,’ Mr Gorman said. ‘And the season has kind of just begun.’”
Seems to me NY state should be able to do a few more sweeps, like continuosly? instead they are doing one before opening, one mid-day, and one later? Guess they expect sharks to stay in one place most of the day,.
