【解析】In the past two months, there have been several shark attacks at Atlantic Beach and Outer Banks Beach in North Carolina. For this reason, we have decided to close down both beaches until further notice. These sharks are great white sharks and extremely dangerous. We are asking — but not requiring — owners of small boats and fishermen to avoid activities in these areas. This month, a study from the Florida Museum of Natural History showed that the rise in shark attacks was caused by many factors, some of which can be avoided. Sharks are said to follow the warm ocean currents from the Gulf of Mexico. Graham Schwartz, a shark expert from the University of California, warns swimmers to limit splashing in the water, and to avoid wearing shiny material that could look like the skin of a fish. Although shark attacks are still extremely rare, and are mostly a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, we take this problem very seriously at the Department of Parks and Recreation. We thank you for your cooperation, and we hope to reopen our beaches to the public soon!
