🌊 Why Now is the Best Time for Marine Watching Near Long Island
📈 Increased Marine Activity = More Wildlife Sightings
Summer 2025 has already seen a surge in marine wildlife sightings just off the coast of Long Island and Rockaway Beach. This boom in activity is largely due to an abundance of menhaden (bunker fish)—a key food source for striped bass, whales, dolphins, and sharks.
🦈 Shark Sightings in Rockaway, NY
Perhaps as a result of the new dredged channel out of Debs Inlet marine activity is booming. Drones dispatched by lifeguards detected sharks swimming within 100 feet of swimmers, prompting safety measures from Beach 32nd to Beach 144th. Recently just this July, multiple shark sightings near Rockaway Beach led to temporary swimming closures. No attacks were reported, the events have created an additional interest in the area —seeing these amazing creatures from a safe, comfortable distance.
