let's take a look. >> shark on! >> shark. the very name inspires wonder and fear, vilified as the world's ultimate killing machine, but their bad-boy image is all wrong, according to these guys. >> i haven't had a single bad day with sharks in 35 years of doing business. >> if there is a shark around, you're likely to find jim in the water with the camera. >> we have 400 billion years of sharks shaping our ocean's health. and in the last 50 years on my watch we've literally destroyed it. >> one in six of all sharks that have been threatened with extinction . >> the university of miami, one of his primary missions is to study sharks in the wild so policymakers can make good policies based on science. >> i really can't express the word of value that jim brings. he can get to sharks. he can figure out what the best conditions are, and he can help us design our information based on the health of the ocean. >> this is where you will find him, making sure that the shark and the team are safe while they gather data. they're getting

it's a male shark, three feet long. >> this is a black nose shark.e've tagged it with an external tag so if someone else were to catch it they could call a number and report it. it's frustrating from our perspective because people turn to us for answers. we spend our lives studying animals in the water. and when something like this happens, people want answers. we're not even sure what species is involved in any of the attacks. >> reporter: this spike in attacks began a couple of weeks ago on the same day a shark tore the arm off of a 12-year-old girl and then just down the beach, another shark ripped the arm off of 16-year-old hunter treshel. >> i saw the shark on my left arm. it was halfway up my biceps. >> reporter: a record-breaking 11 shark attacks off the coasts of both north and south carolina in just a span of weeks, has everybody here scrambling for fast answers. >> it's clear we've got a perfect storm under way of a variety of environmental, biological, and human factors. >> reporter: he says the recent cluster of attacks may be due to warm

bait and kill the sharks. that's what the state government of western australia did in 2014 after a spate of attacks. the conservationists were outraged and the cull of big sharks are now on hold. the shark nets are popular on beaches but they can trap and kill other sea life and are best in bays that are not great for surfing. >>> a known big one getting close to shore aerial surveillance can help but it's piecemeal. affixed to surf boards or nearby motorizeed craft. ultimately if people enter the shark's environment they are committing a risk. don't get into the ocean in the first place even if the waves in the pool aren't quite the same. andrew thomas, al jazeera sydney. >> intense heat is baking much of the u.s. and europe. coming up how 2015 is turning out to be a record year for high temperatures. >>> and tomorrow at 9:00, donald trump takes his anti-immigrant message to the border of mexico. how his campaign is being viewed south of the border. >> a united nations official is warning that this year's co

when she says shark, she's not talking about investors, she's talking about real sharks. a few years ago, conservationist ocean ramsey had an idea to introduce people to the animal she loves. today she's got a thriving business. the idea of getting this close to a shark might be a nightmare for most people. but for ocean ramsey the co-founder of hawaii-based one ocean diving is a dream come true. >> the first time i ever saw a shark i was really young. i just remember seeing it and thinking, wow, this animal is so beautiful and graceful. i ended up falling after it. i think i've been in love with them every since. >> ocean is a conservationist focus on sharks. she's been called the shark whisperer, she's been called crazy. just look at this photo. that's ocean swimming with a great white. >> what makes you love this animal that so many other people fear. >> i get to see them on a day-to-day basis, i get to see the reality of them how incredible they are. it's inspired me to speak up for them. >> ocean and her partner created a nonprofit called water inspired to study shar

of"the sharks of cuba."ave the cinematographer and shark expert andy casagrande live via skype. tell us about the waters the scary waters of cuba. >> like you said it's like an ocean time capsule, and literally some of the biggest sharks in the world live there. one of the biggest great white sharks ever caught this one called el monstro caught off the north coast of cuba when we launched an expedition to find obviously not that shark but some of its offspring or any other large sharks in the area. the first time i got a call to go to cuba you want to go to cuba to film sharks? i was like awesome, mojitos, cigars and sharks sounds great. cuba is pristine. the reef is in excellent condition. there's much less tourism and far less people interacting with the sharks so they're a little more wild and feisty so to speak, which makes for great filming. >> did you tag a shark as big as el monstro or close? >> no, you have to watch the show to find out. that's my mandate from discovery. i'm not allowed to give away

the shark then grabbed his back. he punched it three times trying to make it let go then tried to get his son, who was frozen with fear out of the water. it grabbed his back. they made it on to the beach. he's said to have lost ten inches of flesh on his ankle. six other incidents, including two nasty ones in north carolina within an hour of each other. one 12 years of age and the other 16 lost part of their ams. george burgess, a shark expert says it's a combination of a lot of things. warmer water, abundance of food and lack of rain have made for fertile ground for sharks to be in. a lot of people are going to want to go in the water over the fourth of july weekend. he said avoid going in near fishing piers, particularly if people are throwing bait into the water or cleaning fish. it puts that much more food in the water. he goes so far to say, he tweeted this out earlier today, it might be time in areas with recent attacks for people to stay out of the water, all together. it's not what you want to hear going into

shark. so these just juveniles and make it a nice picture. we thought we would bring thaw and tell you if you see these in the ocean brown sharks, don't panic they probably don't want 30 bother you. they like to eat crabs little fish and occasional ray stingray or something so how is that for a little knowledge about the the ocean. i feel like i'm king my vacation, not a tough assignment but i'll take it. >> i was going to say nice well come back at the beach. all right steve keeley, thank you. >>> thanks, steve kiehlly. >>> an attempted water rescue comes to a saddened last night. divers found body of the man who jumped in the river for a swim sunday afternoon but did not make it out. four three-year old vick them was on the boat with one other person. people watching the rescue unfold said that river can be deceptive. >> it is very sad. people don't realize how strong the current is here. so when they go for swims without a life investigator anything like that, they really get taken under

has south africa tried to do anything to prevent these shark attacks. >> we have about six shark attacks a year. only one of those was fatal. we do see shark attacks especially with swimmers. depends which province you are in. some provinces catch dolphins. trying to work another way to do it. trying to develop an electric pulse in water. beautiful mountain overlooking the ocean, you can have people sitting up there 300 feet watching looking into the ocean to see if they can spot a fin. the minute they spot a fin they sound the alarm. >> all right. would you go in the water there? >> i would and i would go again. i was there a few weeks ago and i gold again. >> it's just extraordinary to me watching that shark coming in. and, you know he, here is the surfer. everybody is watching it and thinking this is the end for this poor guy. >> it was. and that's the thing. just last month that a surfer was attacked. and the day before in june, i think it was 24 years old. he was attacked in the camp a day before, another young surfer, 19-year-old lost his leg to a shark attack. you're really not su

it is a shark.ill: you went to the jersey shore for the weekend. >> a rash of shark attacks in north carolina and sightings all been on the shore. check out this picture. shark tony and his catch which he can't a few weeks ago on the jersey shore. i went to meet with this shark legend. his fishing spot. he is doing it to set the record straight. >> they are here all the time. >> as i pulled the kayak down to the water he told me why he is called shark tony. years ago. >> people i knew would your my name. the kids were deal shark. you know shark tony. >> he became known. and i sent him adrift into the ocean. we saw a fan over they're. >> way out past. it was right around this area. >> i don't want my toes nibbled by any sharks and made my way out of the water as fast as i can. bill: look at you backing out. >> my gosh. there is. i grabis. i grab my camera, ran the shore. he started trying to pull the shark closer. quite a fight. the sharp was biting obviously. he took the lookout. then it was more. b

this summer, the summer of shark. we keep seeing more and more of them but you'll meat one man who sighs no need to fair. forget your byob, a new trend, byod. your news, your neighborhood, life and interactive, this is fox 29 weekend. good morning everyone, welcome to fox 29 weekend on this beautiful sunday, july 12 i'm bill anderson, good morning karen hepp. let's take a live look outside. we have so many wonderful events happening. this is a look at center city right now. the sun driving into today, the way the sun was rising, it was absolutely gorgeous out there. there is a hispanic festival down at penn's landing. let's get the forecast for that. >> a lot of the events for both saturday and sunday, a good weekend to do that because we have our structureed weather continuing. humidity is still down. no rain out there this morning. things are all clear and the temperatures are into the mid 60s now. it's warmed up a bit. lower 60s this morning, nice and comfortable, but now warming up, 75. mid 70s to the south. this

shark! everyone out of the water!e time i'm punching the shark to get him away from me and went over to grab my son. >> reporter: a contributing factor? perhaps a perfect storm of environmental and biological variables. some sharks feed on turtles and small fish close to shore. scientists say drought conditions can also play a role among other things. >> certainly warm water this year, higher salidities. there are more turtles in the water and that would bring on more sharks. >> reporter: too close for comfort for the fourth of july weekend surfers and holiday goers. >> the other day we saw a 5-foot sand shark and it was within 8 feet of me, but it stayed out in the water. it's his natural habitat. it is hanging out there and we are in it's home. so you have to be aware of your surroundings and be careful. >> now do you think there's a high probability of being bitten by a shark? think again. the likelihood of you being bitten by a shark is like 1 in 11 million. you are more likely to be struck by lightning or become

the white sharks have arrived early. but these sharks are tropical sharks.elieve about seven to eight feet in length. possibly a bull shark, a sand bar, possibly a lemon shark from looking at the bites. they were definitely releases. they were investigating what their subjects were probably in bad visibility and released right after biting. >> in bad visibility. everyone wants to make excuses for sharks. every time i talk to a shark experts, oh, they didn't mean to do it. maybe some of them have gone rogue. >> we're very fascinated with sharks. we have to remember that there are ten drowning death as day worldwide. and there are many things out there that could get you before a shark does. it seems to be very unfair. such low statistics to point out this animal and somehow kind of demonize it. >> i'm kind of comfortable demonizing it. if you are grabbed by one, what should you do? punch it in the nose? >> you can try that. hitting it in the nose or in the eyes or around the gills. this is not something you need to write town and remember these rules. if it h

i just started, i started shouting, shark, shark. everyone out of the water.m punching the shark trying to get the shark away from me. and then went over to you know to obviously grab my son. >> i assume jack heard you shouting shark. i don't know if he saw the fin as well. how was he? was he in shock? did he know what was going on? >> he just looked at me our eyes met. and he knew by looking at my eyes that i was serious and that he needed to listen and we needed to get out as soon as possible. >> you have no doubt it was the same shark that bit you each time? >> i never saw it but the folk that were on the beach at the time said there were two or throw sharks that came up afterwards. so i believe it was the same shark. but it could have been -- it could have been a different shark because, by the time i got out of the ocean there were two or three sharks swimming in the same area. if i would have been in ocean for another few minutes. the other sharks showed up pretty quickly. i don't know if i would have made it out alive. >> when you were punching the shar

sandbar shark. they are big mean, menacing but they are not great whites and man eaters. they wouldn't even bother your pedicure on your toes. >> steve, you took me there on my first day and you tried to scare me with those sharks at the aquarium. >> reporter: yeah, you know, thinks just my way this is not a news story legitimately but we're talking about sharks and i just wanted to extend my vacation one day by not really talking about news. >> thanks, steve. >> i learn a lot about sharks over weekend because i did my own marathon watching shark week. you know is there a shark that lives in the arctic, under 8 feet of ice. >> really. >> divers went down in there and they saw. this thing can live 200 years. it is gigantic and that he is little parasites connect to their eye balls rendering their brian. they are blind floating under the ice. huge and live over 200 years. >> to think just last year you were saying you didn't like shark week it bored you. >> i was so bored over the weekend i started wa

shark week starts this sunday.ere is a clip. >> we're going to do something i'm not sure has been done before. we're going to strap into the harness and dangle him over sharks. >> got it? >> paul joins me in the studio now. i'm excited to have you here. you have you have knocked spider-man and thor off the charts and you are my new hero. you were face-to-face with a 12-foot bull shark. tell me about your story and what happened. i can't imagine what went through. >> it was a tough day he wh -- when you get to work. >> it's not easy to go through. >> i was working as a diver which is a bomb disposal diver and we were doing a counterterrorism exercise in sydney harbor, i've dived there a hundred times and swum there a hundred time for work. i was finning on the surface on my bakken an a bull shark grabbed me by at hamstring and hand and i tried to fight it off. i tried to jab it in the eyeball. i tried to push it off and punch it off nothing washed. it took me underwater and tearing me apart. it removed my hamstring

the shark attack expert is attracting the shark attacks as well. he joins us now. george you have been studying these sharks for quite some time. what do you make of all of this? >> well of course this is an undecember present unprecedented to the have a series after tacks over a short period of time. it's of course very in common. and so what is happening in north carolina is a very unusual event and, you know when we're not likely to see, you know certainly continue the rest of the summer. but it is sort of a perfect storm of series of circumstances that are producing this. not all of which we know. there's no doubt some other things going on that we haven't considered at this point that we'll figure out at some point. but right now the key in the story is to keep safe on the beaches and to be specially vigilant at this time. >> i mean it's tough to look for these guys when they're underneath the water f i've got a beach vacation planned this weekend, particularly along the east coast, the carolinas area should i cancel my trip? if i do go on the trip should i st

several more sharks.hese were juvenile great whites most of them 2 feet long. he saw -- showed me a job on any is worried. >> the scariest part for me was i was hoping that the camera wouldn't get wet because salt water and technology don't mix.>> don't venture too far out into the water. this is unusually warm, the water. that may be why the great lakes -- great white sharks are here. >> we are getting a lot more exotic species because of the warm water in the monterey bay. we usually see it in southern california.>> please sharks -- the sharks have been spotted as close as 20 feet from the shore but so far have shown no aggression. the culprits on the east coast were bull sharks. they can be smaller than great white sharks but they are more aggressive. they are the most dangerous sharks in the world.>> we just have great white sharks. what is it like seeing one? even if it is a small one up close -- >> it is exhilarating. at the end of the day you feel humbled and amazed by the wonders of the ocean.>> j

maybe a couple of times a year, you hear shark, shark, and it gets your heart going.u don't think about it all the time, but it always needs to be in your mind. >> especially if you're plan aiding and abetting trip to north carolina. >> thank you mark. that was fun. appreciate it. >> justin bieber is starting a new trend on line but you'll be surprised what it is. >> other celebrities are following his lead and it's one of the things grabbing the attention of social media today. >> time now 4:41. you're watching the four. >> some of the stories get attention on social media, justin bieber. >> we had to put a black box over his back side. the photo has been liked over a million times. some other celebrities are getting in. this one is by the wife of singer john legend. >> i'm not sure how the beginning picture started and why it started, but now we get to see a lot of celebrities joining in on the fun. >> maybe just enjoy the vacation. just saying. where's your picture mark. >> no black box for you. >> no, we're fully clothed. >> showers and thunderstorms out toward la

prohibited sharks like the sandusky or sandbar sharks. if you reel in one of those prohibited fish, you need to go in the water and let the shark go. if you're caught bringing them up on the beach, you get fined. the shark probably won't survive about. >> people are becoming more aware of it they are calling in, and we are responding down and in these cases we are charging and arresting people for this investigation. >> any time you're knee deep in that water. you're part of a whole new food chain. in delaware sharks have rights too. >> they have teeth, and it seems like we've been talking a lot about sharks this summer. a couple times so far in our area. people have been asked to get out of the water because of shark spottings. >> right now, taking a live look at cape may, where you can see some people out enjoying the beach right now. >> glenn "hurricane" schwartz joining us now. >> we're entering a rain-free period for a little while? >> yeah that means it's the perfect time to wash your car. very often people wash their car and the ve

it's shark inhabited water. sharks don't infest. that's their natural environment. the point i'd like to make, we classify it this incident as a stupid human trick. eventually evolution will take care of that itself. that said, if you're face-to-face with a shark in the water and it's actually approaching you, pop it on its nose, they have a sensitive nose. they'll most likely veer away, and you can use that extra time to get out of the water. but just remember to hit very accurately because just south of the nose is the mouth. >> wait, did i hear you correctly, tap on its nose? >> yeah. more than a tap. as hard as you can hit. >> that's if it's face is right there. but you're better off trying, right? >> yeah. i mean, you're asking for last case scenarios. there's even a -- if you're in the mouth of the shark, claw at its eyes and its gill openings, openings behind the eyes. both of those are sensitive and some experiences demonstrated that if you're clawing in the eyes, they'll let go. >> all right. fight for dear life. george burgess, thanks for your perspective

that brings in sharks.o to give ourselves a bit of peace of mind. the most important thing to remember is there are always sharks there. you are often never more than 100 yards away from a shark? saltwater, which to me is unsettling but it also tell us yes, they are there, but most of the time they're just going about their business. also in the end, fred the biggest thing we need to remember is that sharks are in a lot more trouble from us than we are from them. >> that's a good point. >> is it the case that sharks oftentimes when they bite humans we're not necessarily the prey they just think we might be? very sell do you remember are we talking about people being consumed. we're kind of boney, maybe not as appetizing as i've heard some shark experts put it. >> that's a good point. a lot of times when people are bitten by shark, she receive what is called a test bite. they are testing and tasting what's going on. also with their skin they have they incredibly heaper sensitive pits aaron their face to dete

beach. >> we have seen some bigger sharks out here. it's scary. >> reporter: the victims of the 10 recent bites range in age from 8 to 68, with 2 teenagers losing limbs after their encounters. >> any shark a bite is a pretty rare occurrence. to have all of these bites occurring recently is very unusual. >> reporter: unusual and unintentional. expert says humans are not targets for sharks, and that these attacks are unfortunate accidents. >> when your hands and feet are splashing, it looks like fish bellies to them. they realize they made a mistake and spit us back out again. >> reporter: still, those looking to soak up the sun have missioned feelings. >> i tried to put the shark thing at of my mind. but i did also be careful. >> reporter: beaches will remain open. >> rip currents are also a big danger this weekend. >>> we have more breaking news. firefighters battling a 5 3- alarm brush fire in vacaville. officials say structures are threatened. we'll bring you new information as soons it becomes stray. >>> tuni circumstances an state

sharks' monitors.op something like a 21-foot great white shark. we don't have any cages. we know that's part of the reality on this expedition. that we're going to have to jump in and not know exactly ha it is we're going to see. >> reporter: they dive in with nothing to protect them. >> at least a dozen sharks. some of the biggest i've ever seen. >> look at that. >> that is a big mama. >> that's a big female. >> oh, another one. >> reporter: watch as the team tags this massive 19-foot silky shark with their bare hands. >> i did it! [cheers and applause] they did it! >> reporter: next they journey north to the same waters in which el monstro once swam. finally, the call they've been waiting for. one of the boats has hooked an exceedingly rare long-fin maico. >> it's a long-fin maico! >> all right! look at that beauty! >> you got it! >> reporter: they catch him. >> there you go. >> reporter: tag him. >> good job, good job! >> reporter: and cut him loose. >> get ready. more slack! >> away going to swim?

, shark, everyone out of the water, at the same time i'm punching the shark, trying to get the shark me, went over to obviously grab my son. >> reporter: contributing factor, perhaps a perfect storm of environmental and biological variables. some sharks feed on turtles and small fish close to shore. drought conditions could play a role, among other things. >> certainly warm water this year, higher sill lynntys, bait fishes in the water, turtle nesting season, all factors that would promote more sharks on the beach. >> reporter: one of the attacks happened near a pier in north carolina. too close for comfort for fourth of july weekend surfers and holidayers. >> the other day i saw about a five-foot sand shark and it was within eight feet of me. but stayed out in the water. it's its natural habitat. we're in its home. have to be aware and -- of your surroundings and be careful. >> reporter: the likelihood of being bitten by a shark is 1 in more than 11.5 million. more likely to be struck by light fling or become president of the united states than bitten by a shark. planning on going i

but it is probably the most safe shark around and the most popular shark around as well. because they are known to swim in the shallow ocean here, muddy, cloudy water, even in the bay, and they are men to be in the delaware bay and fisherman catch them all the time. we just thought it was interesting in the summer of sharks with those eight, shark attacks on humans in north carolina, double the amount that they normally get in a full year in north caroline, that we would show you the pictures here on the new jersey coast. we have had shark sight goes, people running off the beach in avalon recently and other places but these sharks are not as a dangerous to man, but unless you are an expert and you can spot a shark in the water and know the breed and know it is not a danger, you will run off and grab your kids and run for your lives and yell shark if you saw one of these sharks. but usually you only see them on the line because they match the sand and they match the bottom of the merky atlantic ocean. so, no fear, that these sharks, are around and you probably swim around
