\n DEL MAR, Calif. \u2013 Scientists are using drones and other technology<\/a> to study great white sharks along the coast of Southern California to better understand interactions between these marine predators and people and assess the risks to human beachgoers.<\/p>\n

The two-year study by the Shark Lab at California State University deploys drones for aerial surveillance of the sharks and uses underwater robots, while the scientists also tag some sharks using a spear that fits the animals with a transmitter to track their movements.<\/p>\n

\u201cDrones have actually changed our world. They\u2019ve become a much more powerful, cost effective tool. So in the past we used helicopters and planes and it was very expensive,\u201d Shark Lab Director Chris Lowe told Reuters.<\/p>\n

Despite carnage depicted in films like \u201cJaws\u201d and \u201cSharknado,\u201d shark attacks on people are rare \u2013 humans kill exponentially more sharks than sharks kill humans \u2013 but they can be deadly. The Maine Department of Marine Resources said a 63-year-old New York City woman died on Monday after being attacked by a great white shark while swimming in the Atlantic.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite the fact that shark populations are going up and more people are using the water than ever before, we\u2019re not really seeing more people actually being bitten by sharks,\u201d Lowe said. \u201cIn fact, in some years, the rate has gone down. So what that tells us, as a scientist, is that we\u2019re not on their menu at all. But occasionally accidents happ<\/a>en.\u201d<\/p>\n

From Santa Barbara to San Diego, the Shark Lab researchers have been flying drones along the coastline to count the number of sharks and people and look at the proximity of the creatures to the shore and swimmers. The coastal community of Del Mar, north of San Diego, is home to a great white shark nursery, the researchers said.<\/p>\n

Lowe said he hopes the research will help lifeguards protect the public by better understanding how sharks behave and whether some species are more aggressive than others.<\/p>\n

Shark Lab researcher Patrick Rex said the scientists are trying to determine what environmental factors increase the likelihood of people encountering the sharks.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re also trying to figure this out for white sharks as well, what environmental parameters bring them closer to shore and maybe closer to humans,\u201d Rex said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
