缅因州一名救生员表示,周六在斯卡伯勒海滩海岸附近,一条鲨鱼咬住他的救生浮标并将他拖入水中,当时他“拼尽全力游泳”。
格雷格·威尔弗特最初以为自己被船的螺旋桨缠住了。
他说:“因为当时我能想到的只有这个,直到我意识到附近根本没有船。”
威尔弗特称,他被拖到水下约5英尺深的地方后才得以挣脱,最终毫发无损地游回岸边。
“那太吓人了,”他说,“我绝不否认这一点。”
更多鲨鱼目击事件
东海岸官员表示,越来越多鲨鱼靠近原本不会出没的近岸区域。
据威尔弗特遭遇鲨鱼地点附近的斯卡伯勒海洋资源官员达伦·格拉纳塔介绍,自上周以来,该区域热门海滩附近至少已发现12条鲨鱼。
“通常我们只会零星看到一两条。这次数量很多,比我见过的都多,而我在这片区域工作已经30多年了,”格拉纳塔说道。
专家表示,这一趋势与近年来环保工作导致海洋生物种群数量增加有关。
“我们会看到更多各类海洋生物,包括更多鲨鱼,”OCEARCH组织创始人克里斯·费舍尔解释道。
他的非营利组织通过捕捉、标记鲨鱼并收集数据,随后将其放回海洋的方式开展鲨鱼研究。
“这意味着大家要多留意周围环境。如果你看到大量海洋生物,就远离那片区域,”他警告道。
尽管如此,鲨鱼袭人事件依然罕见。去年,国际鲨鱼袭击档案报告称全球共发生25起无端袭人事件。

Maine lifeguard says shark dragged him 5 feet underwater as officials warn of increased sightings

A lifeguard in Maine said he “started swimming like hell” when a shark grabbed onto his buoy and pulled him underwater off the coast of Scarborough Beach on Saturday.
Greg Wilfert said he initially thought he was caught in the propeller of a boat.
“‘Cause that’s the only thing I could think of until I realized there was no boat,” he said.
Wilfert said he was pulled about 5 feet underwater before he was able to get free and emerge on shore unharmed.
“It was frightening,” he said. “I’m not going to deny that.”
More shark sightings
Officials along the East Coast say there are more sharks closer to shore in areas where they don’t usually go.
Since last week, at least a dozen sharks have been spotted close to popular beaches in the area of Wilfert’s encounter, according to Scarborough’s marine resources officer Daryen Granata.
“Usually we’ll see one or two here and there. This is a large volume, larger than I’ve seen, and I’ve worked this area for 30-plus years,” Granata said.
The trend is happening as conservation efforts have led to an increase in marine life populations in recent years, experts say.
“We’re gonna see more of everything, including more sharks,” OCEARCH founder Chris Fischer explained.
His nonprofit studies sharks by catching, tagging and collecting data before releasing them back into the ocean.
“It means just try to be a little bit more aware of what’s going on in the environment around you. You see a lot of life, steer clear of that,” he warned.
Still, shark encounters remain rare. Last year, the International Shark Attack File reported 25 unprovoked bites.
