As family and friends flood America's coastlines during the holiday weekend, an expert is giving beachgoers practical tips to keep in mind as they head into waters with one of the most feared hunters in the ocean.
Dr. Robert Hueter, OCEARCH's senior adviser for science and academics, told Fox News Digital that swimmers should be aware that they are swimming alongside sea life and are not in an enclosed pool or lake.
"The first thing to keep in mind is, don't be afraid of the ocean," he said.
