A significant increase in the number of young great white sharks has been observed near Santa Cruz, California, particularly in a cove known as Shark Park. This year, the population of young great whites is up to twice as many as usual, although officials assure that they are not aggressive. Researchers attribute this rise to several factors, including warming ocean temperatures. The phenomenon of young sharks gathering in this area has been noted since 2014. Additionally, there is growing evidence of an increase in great white shark numbers along Canada's East Coast, prompting plans to post warning signs for beachgoers.

While many researchers believe warming ocean temperatures are a driver, they say several factors could be in play for the young sharks to migrate north. https://t.co/6QqicHMJco https://t.co/6QqicHMJco
