Fatal Shark Attack on My Favorite Beach.:(  |
|
 I just heard on the news that someone was bitten very severely by a shark at my favorite beach here in Southern California. I guess they were swimming near Fletcher Cove in Solana Beach when it happened.
Fletcher Cove is not a beach near me (I live inland, anyway), but I travel out of my way to swim there because it's very beautiful and easy to get to. I've often seen fish and other animals in the water, but I've never heard of any problems with sharks. They usually have the more docile sharks species that swim nearby that don't bite.

 desertdarlene (5652) | 6 months ago | Yeah, they think it was a great white shark traveling through the area. Or, it might have just given birth. The guy was alive when he left the water, but died in the lifeguard truck not too long later. He was a 66 year old triathlete and popular veterinarian who lived in Solana Beach for a very long time. | |

2.  4xmyworld (155) | 6 months ago |  I'm sad to hear this. It means that something is wrong with the ecology system. Something wrong with the food chain. If the sharks didnt bite before and now they do, something is amiss in thier food chain. Anyway i hope things can return to normal. But still when fear creeps in, there is usually the worries that if it had happened before, it will happen again.

| desertdarlene (5652) | 6 months ago | Shark attacks have happened here in Southern California, but not in this area for a very, very long time. Great Whites are a little rare in this area compared to up north. But, they are spotted now and then. Most of the time, they're not a problem because they really don't like to eat people, but seals. | |

| desertdarlene (5652) | 5 months ago | You're right about Florida, but in this case, it was in California and our water is cool. Usually, we don't see a lot of Great Whites around here because they like even colder water. | |

4.  Hatley (12433) | 5 months ago |  desertdarlene I also live in So.Ca but about ten miles
from the beach. our nearest beach is Newport beach and
I do not think they have ever had a shark come in close
to shore that would really scare me. I have seen seals
and pelicans and fish but no sharks thank goodness'
for that. I live in Tustin Ca. good to know other southern
californians are here too.

| desertdarlene (5652) | 5 months ago | I live pretty far inland, but I go to this beach quite often. I've seen sharks and other fish near the shore, but they're usually pretty harmless. | |
