Summary
Maine has seen a spike in shark sightings this summer, with a lifeguard believing a great white shark dragged him underwater off Scarborough Beach. The incident occurred when the lifeguard, Greg Wilfert, was swimming with a rescue buoy, which the shark mistook for food. Wilfert was able to unhook the buoy and swim back to shore quickly. The beach was shut down for an hour, and people were later allowed to wade in the water up to their waist.
