Because, at least along the beaches of Long Island, there have been a spree of shark attacks across the past two weeks.

Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone said the sharks are obviously hanging closer to the shore, and that swimmers may be dealing “something of a new normal.” He encouraged swimmers to stay out of the water if lifeguards are not present.he also suggested swimmers stay out of the water near dawn and dusk, not wear shiny jewelry and to not go into the water if they are bleeding.
