Great White Sharks, measuring 10-12 feet, are being spotted close to humans off the California coast. Scientists attribute this rise to El Niño and warming sea temperatures, causing sharks to migrate north from Mexico. Despite their presence, the risk of attacks remains low as humans are not their natural prey. Data shows less than 250 attacks and 17 deaths since 1950. While the sharks are now appearing earlier in the season due to climate change, authorities have implemented fishing restrictions to protect this species and ensure public safety. Experts emphasize coexistence over fear. https://samachareisamay.com/international/california-coast-great-white-shark
