Beachgoers on New York's Long Island are on the lookout for sharks after five shark attacks in just the last two weeks.
"It hit me and it knocked me just off my board," surfer Shawn Donnelly said."I saw its body and I said, 'Oh, this is a shark.'"
"It's very common that the shark attack is not fatal," said Christopher Paparo, manager of the Marine Science Center at Stony Brook-Southampton."The reason for that is they're not trying to eat us."
