Shark sightings along New York’s coastal areas have reached unprecedented levels this season, leading to heightened concern among residents and visitors. In response, local authorities have intensified safety measures, introducing drone surveillance as a key strategy to monitor the waters and shorelines. These unmanned aerial systems provide real-time visual coverage, enabling rapid detection of marine life near popular swimming zones. The initiative aims to protect beachgoers while maintaining access to public beaches. NBC News correspondent Steven Romo reports from the scene, examining the factors behind the spike in shark activity and how high-tech monitoring is being integrated into daily operations.
