Here are essential reminders to keep safe from shark attacks, especially for beachgoers.

Stay updated with shark reports on the beach you will visit

Understanding shark reports will help beachgoers become more prepared and stay alert for potential shark encounters. In addition, people should strictly observe the beach rules.

People should choose beaches with lifeguards patrolling in the area. It is best to avoid swimming far from the shore or supervised areas. For parents, it is important to keep an eye on children who can likely roam around.

Don't swim at night, particularly in warmer months

Swimming at night can be prone to shark attacks. People can likely not see arriving sharks. Most sharks roam at night to look for potential prey. When people encounter or see a shark, people should slowly keep out of the water.

Beachgoers should avoid swimming in areas with most fish, which sharks are likely nearby. As possible, staying close to the shore is the most recommended.

Wearing jewelry is not also advisable while swimming.
