Surfers have a 1 in 17 million chance of a shark attack. People going to the beach, just swimming, have a one in 700 million chance to have a shark bite,” says Ferretti.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Humans are not the preferred prey of sharks. Our stringy bodies are far less appetizing than a fat-packed seal, the chubby dumpling of the ocean. This might explain why sharks occasionally bite surfers, because from below, they kind of look like seals.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignleft\">\n\u003ch5>To mitigate shark attacks, the Hawaiian government culled over 4,500 sharks between 1959 and 1976. But according to the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology, the program was ineffective in reducing the number of shark attacks. Now some experts believe that governments can make the ocean safer by protecting the shark’s food source and ecosystem.\u003c/h5>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“Sharks explore potential prey by biting it,” Ferretti says. “They bite otters as well.

There’s not a lot going on when you look at it from space,” says Jorgensen.“In fact it was called the Desert of the Pacific by many oceanographers. I always think about it a little bit like Burning Man. We have got these Bay Area sharks out here in Central California and once a year they head off into the desert. God knows what they’re doing out there.

If you put more people in the water you would expect more encounters with sharks,” says Jorgensen. “But what we’ve seen in California is that encounters and injuries inflicted by sharks have increased a little bit over the past 50 years but the number of people in the water has increased immensely, so that ratio has decreased.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reduced risk could be a sign of a declining shark population.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignleft\">\n\u003ch5>A number of “shark repellents” are now on the market.

Jorgensen says it’s hard to run scientific studies on these repellents’ efficacy. “It’s not super convincing, and in one case there was a controversy of whether that actually attracted the shark more or repelled it more,” he says.\u003c/h5>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“There are on average about 10 human fatalities per year worldwide.

Our stringy bodies are far less appetizing than a fat-packed seal, the chubby dumpling of the ocean. This might explain why sharks occasionally bite surfers, because from below, they kind of look like seals.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignleft\">\n\u003ch5>To mitigate shark attacks, the Hawaiian government culled over 4,500 sharks between 1959 and 1976.

There’s not a lot going on when you look at it from space,” says Jorgensen.“In fact it was called the Desert of the Pacific by many oceanographers. I always think about it a little bit like Burning Man. We have got these Bay Area sharks out here in Central California and once a year they head off into the desert.

We’re not sure if there’s a social component or whether they’re all seeking out the same conditions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He thinks the latter is more likely. Historical fishing data show that there are at least four juvenile white shark “hot spots” in Southern California: Ventura/Oxnard, Santa Monica Bay, Huntington Beach and the stretch between Dana Point and San Onofre.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Lowe hasn’t yet been able to determine from his research what makes young white sharks pick one area one year and another the next.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, the summertime hot spot for baby sharks seems to be Ventura, Lowe said, and for juveniles (1- to 3-year-olds), it's Belmont Shore in Long Beach and between Dana Point and San Clemente.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Generally, Lowe said, the young sharks seem to be attracted by the warm coastal waters (juvenile sharks can’t handle cold temperatures the way adult sharks can), the lack of predators, like orcas and other big sharks, and abundant food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The number one thing we’ve found in baby white sharks’ stomachs are stingrays,” Lowe said. \"And stingrays are super abundant in Southern California. Their numbers have been going up over the last 50 years because we got rid of all the coastal predators.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lowe said the increased number of sharks we’re seeing this year is an ecological success story: Decades ago, we started to protect white sharks and the marine mammals that adult sharks feed on, and now there are more of both.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can’t just say we want to have marine mammals, but we don’t want to have sharks. We need them to have a healthy ecosystem,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lowe suspects that the sharks’ behavior might be changing because of rising ocean temperatures and changing climate patterns. The young sharks that usually migrate in the winter from Southern California to Baja haven’t done so in the past few years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We had weird oceanographic conditions this past winter,” Lowe said. \"It started to get cold, then all of a sudden a warm slug of water moved in close to shore again, so it's possible they started to move to Baja, got halfway there and then conditions changed, and they thought, 'Ok, maybe I should stay.'

Near the San Clemente coast, local lifeguard Rod Mellott drove up on a jet ski. He wore a headset to communicate with the pilot of an Orange County Sheriff’s Department helicopter flying overhead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sheriff’s helicopter has become a key ally in Lowe’s research and in efforts to keep OC beaches safe for swimmers. It’s much easier to spot the outline of a shark from the sky on a sunny day than to scan the water for fins at sea level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plus, Lowe said, the increasing number of tourist boats out looking for sharks may be starting to spook them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People want to see them, which is great, but they are kind of harassing the sharks,” he said, adding that he hoped his research might lead to guidelines for responsible shark watching.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lowe pulled on a wetsuit, attached a tag to the end of a spear and got on the back of the jet ski. He and Mellott headed a few hundred yards closer to shore and then we all turned south to troll for sharks.

Not a single shark, even though there were multiple sightings around San Clemente the previous day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the trip wasn’t a total bust: On the way back to Dana Point Harbor, we stopped at a buoy -- just outside of the designated swim zone at Doheny State Beach -- to check on one of Lowe's receivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lowe swam out to the buoy, detached a canister holding the device, then swam back to the boat and transferred the data to a laptop computer. Lowe’s research assistant, Echelle Burns, pulled up a graph showing dozens of blips, color-coded to represent individual, tagged sharks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scrolling through the data, Burns announced that the most recent detection was just a few hours before we passed by the same location.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In all, 17 tagged white sharks had swum by the buoy a cumulative 1,125 times in the previous two weeks.

I asked Lowe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Technically, no,” he said. “They’re not that close together, but they do use the same general area. We’re not sure if there’s a social component or whether they’re all seeking out the same conditions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He thinks the latter is more likely. Historical fishing data show that there are at least four juvenile white shark “hot spots” in Southern California: Ventura/Oxnard, Santa Monica Bay, Huntington Beach and the stretch between Dana Point and San Onofre.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Lowe hasn’t yet been able to determine from his research what makes young white sharks pick one area one year and another the next.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, the summertime hot spot for baby sharks seems to be Ventura, Lowe said, and for juveniles (1- to 3-year-olds), it's Belmont Shore in Long Beach and between Dana Point and San Clemente.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Generally, Lowe said, the young sharks seem to be attracted by the warm coastal waters (juvenile sharks can’t handle cold temperatures the way adult sharks can), the lack of predators, like orcas and other big sharks, and abundant food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The number one thing we’ve found in baby white sharks’ stomachs are stingrays,” Lowe said. \"And stingrays are super abundant in Southern California. Their numbers have been going up over the last 50 years because we got rid of all the coastal predators.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lowe said the increased number of sharks we’re seeing this year is an ecological success story: Decades ago, we started to protect white sharks and the marine mammals that adult sharks feed on, and now there are more of both.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can’t just say we want to have marine mammals, but we don’t want to have sharks. We need them to have a healthy ecosystem,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lowe suspects that the sharks’ behavior might be changing because of rising ocean temperatures and changing climate patterns. The young sharks that usually migrate in the winter from Southern California to Baja haven’t done so in the past few years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We had weird oceanographic conditions this past winter,” Lowe said. \"It started to get cold, then all of a sudden a warm slug of water moved in close to shore again, so it's possible they started to move to Baja, got halfway there and then conditions changed, and they thought, 'Ok, maybe I should stay.' We just don’t know the answer to those questions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lowe hopes to get at some of these questions by tagging sharks and tracking their movements and behaviors.
