随着夏季假期临近尾声，人们正抓紧时间享受海滩时光。但新泽西一座海滩小镇的市长担忧，某一社交媒体趋势可能会埋下鲨鱼袭击的隐患。
“在这里捕鱼并不违法，捕捞鲨鱼也不违法，但这会引来捕食者。它们在寻找食物，而这里有大量游泳者，”贝黑德市市长比尔·柯蒂斯说道，他对那些展示人们将鲨鱼吸引到岸边以便合影的视频感到不安。
在一段走红的视频中，一群人将一条8英尺长的公牛鲨拖到海滩上，随后与鲨鱼合影留念。
柯蒂斯担心，用来吸引这些顶级掠食者的鱼饵会将它们引到距离海滩过近的危险区域，威胁到毫无防备的游泳者。
“往水里投放食物吸引鱼类，只会把它们引到岸边，”他说道。
为了捕捉鲨鱼，一些垂钓者划船前往深水区，投放鱼饵后再通过海滩上的卷线器将鲨鱼拉上岸。CBS新闻摄制组与约翰·沙伊布尔船长一同出海，他将船开到离岸约100码的位置。这片水深15英尺的区域正是许多鲨鱼垂钓者投放鱼饵的地方。
“他们只是在寻求乐趣，”沙伊布尔在谈到那些在社交媒体上分享与鲨鱼互动经历的人时说道，“他们不会杀死鲨鱼，可能只是拍几张合影就将它们放归大海。”

沙伊布尔表示，他不认为这些人的行为存在危险，但市长并不认同这一观点。
“这关乎常识和对他人的考量，”柯蒂斯说道，“所有人都可以和谐共处，只是在行事时多留意一点就好。”
Mayor of New Jersey beach town worries social media trend could lead to shark attack

With the end of summer rapidly approaching, people are getting in as much beach time as they can. But the mayor of a New Jersey beach town is worried a social media trend could be setting up a potential shark attack.
“It’s not illegal to fish here. It’s not illegal to fish for shark, but it is bringing in predators, they’re looking for food and there’s a lot of swimmers here,” Bay Head Mayor Bill Curtis said, explaining his unease about videos showing people attracting sharks toward shore so they can take photos with them.
In one viral video, a group of people is seen pulling an 8-foot-long bull shark onto the beach itself before snapping some photos.
Curtis worries the bait used to reel in these apex predators is taking them dangerously close to the beach and unsuspecting swimmers.
“Putting food in the water there for the fish to go after is just luring them closer to shore,” he said.
To catch sharks, some anglers paddle out to deeper waters, drop the bait and then pull in the sharks from reels on the beach. A CBS News crew went out on a boat with Captain John Schaible, who took them about 100 yards from shore. There, in 15-foot-deep water, is where many shark fishermen drop their bait.
“They are just having fun,” Schaible said of the people posting their encounters with the sharks on social media. “They’re not killing them. They’re maybe taking a couple pictures with them and letting them go.”

Schaible said he doesn’t think what they’re doing is dangerous, but the mayor disagrees.
“Common sense and consideration for everybody,” Curtis said. “Everybody can coexist, just be a little careful with what you are doing.”
