WATCH: Sharks, Stingray Invade Jersey Shore Beaches - And More Could Come

Is it really safe to go into the water?

The summer of 2015 has been one of the most eventful in the Jersey Shore’s history, with sea life that typically raises a panic suddenly emerging within a camera shot - and even closer - from the state’s beaches.

And experts told nj.com we should have more of these sightings since 30 different species of shark pass by New Jersey this year as they migrate north and south.

But, yes, they say: It’s really safe to go into the water.

The Marine Mammal Standing Center in Brigantine has acknowledged that the sightings are more common than usual. But Robert Schoelkopf, director of the center, said people should not be so alarmed by videos of sharks.

Sharks attacks, he said, are less common than “bathtub falls.”

So far:

• Swimmers in Avalon were called out of the water twice over a three-hour span earlier this week because of a shark sighting. Lifeguards said the shark appeared to be about 4-feet-long and was in waist-deep water, according to Philly Voice. Twitter users posted photos and videos of the water being evacuated, and showing the fin of the shark out in the ocean (see video below).
• Another lifeguard says he saw what appeared to be a shark fin off Margate on Monday morning, and he called swimmers out of the water after seeing the fish, according to WNBC-TV.
• A half-eaten dolphin that was possibly eaten by a shark washed up on a beach at the Jersey Shore in June. The Marine Mammal Stranding Center, which handles sea life that washes up on the Jersey Shore, said the animal was a 3-foot-long newborn bottlenose dolphin. The animal likely died and then was eaten, according to the center.
• A shark was caught in the inlet in North Wildwood earlier this week. The fishermen let the shark go after the photos were snapped.
• Fisherman in Wildwood also reeled in a stingray earlier this week. - just before they caught the small shark. “The same guys that caught the sting ray a few days ago caught a nice small shark today in the morning,” The Wildwood Boardwalk Facebook page.

Experts say shark sightings are an “integral” part of beach life, according to the nj.com report,and Jersey Shore beachgoers can sometimes spot tiger and sand tiger sharks, bull sharks, makos and dogfish, with sporadic appearances from whale and basking sharks.

George Burgess, director of the Florida Program for Shark Research at the Florida Museum of Natural History, said the deeper waters off the Jersey Shore serves as a “migratory nexus” for ocean animals, a mixing area where you get “wintertime stuff and summer stuff based on water temperature,” according to the report.

But Schoelkopf suggested that technology - the ability to capture a shark on an iPhone video and easily post it to the Internet - also could be fanning the flames of hysteria like never before.

“They’re [sharks] there all the time. People are just getting more fascinated by it,” he told Patch earlier this week. “Now people are seeing it and they’re freaking out about it.”
