SAN DIEGO COUNTY, Calif. — Researchers from Cal State Long Beach are expanding efforts to study shark behavior along the Del Mar coastline.
It comes as more sightings have been reported in the area.
Del Mar lifeguards have been working with the researchers to track sharks in hopes of figuring out why they're here, and their impact on beachgoers.
"So we've seen up to 10 sharks at a time in an area probably the size of two football fields," said Dr. Chris Lowe, professor of marine biology and director of the Shark Lab at Cal State Long Beach.
