6-foot shark sighting at Nickerson Beach leads to beach evacuations and swimming restrictions.
A shark sighting at Nickerson Beach on Long Island led to beach evacuations, swimming restrictions at three beaches, and a red-flag warning. Lifeguards spotted the 6-foot shark around 75 feet from the shore, and the town is monitoring the situation. This marks at least the eighth or ninth shark sighting this season on Long Island, with state officials increasing surveillance and drone equipment after last year's increase in shark sightings and bites.
