Southern California beachgoers warned of spike in shark attacks this summer amid cut of research funding
Fox News
The Shark Lab at California State University at Long Beach may have to cut programs that monitor sharks off the SoCal coast after its funding was slashed.
Sarah Rumpf-Whitten is a breaking news writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business.
"It's getting pretty serious," Shark Lab Director Chris Lowe told ABC7. She is a native of Massachusetts and is based in Orlando, Florida.
"We have enough money to carry us through June, but after that, if we don't get more funding, we're going to have to pull out all the equipment out of the water," Lowe said. "We won't be able to monitor sharks along California anymore." Story tips and ideas can be sent to sarah.rumpf@fox.com and on X: @s_rumpfwhitten.
