Topline:
Confirmed "aggressive shark behavior" near T-Street Beach led San Clemente officials to close off access to ocean water at all city beaches Monday.
Can I still visit the beach? All beaches, the shoreline and parking lots, remain open.
When will water access be re-opened? Access is closed until 8 p.m. Monday, pending any further shark sightings. Check San Clemente's social pages for updates.
Go deeper: While the type of shark seen off the coast of San Clemente hasn't been released, we know that some shark populations are on the rise.
Here's a conversation with researchers from Cal State Long Beach's Shark Lab where we find out that more sharks doesn’t mean more dangerous encounters.
