• Bay Head mayor raises alarm over shark baiting near Jersey Shore beaches (wchram.com) — Bay Head Mayor Bill Curtis is warning that shark-baiting practices like dropping bait from kayaks and drones could draw sharks closer to local swimming areas, and he’s urging safer behavior along the Jersey Shore. State environmental officials share his concerns, while a shark charter operator disputes the term “chumming” but agrees daytime shark fishing near swimmers is risky.
