Officials at New York City’s Rockaway Beach pulled swimmers out of the water on Friday afternoon following a shark sighting.

Just two days after Rockaway Beach reopened following a shark attack on Monday night, park rangers could be seen pulling swimmers and surfers out of the water with some urgency.

A park ranger told Fox News that the shark was seen via drone.

“Well we know something’s happening, and we call that climate change,” Pfeifer said at an early Wednesday press conference. “The waters are a lot warmer, they’re also a lot cleaner, so we’re getting schools of fish there, but what we’re doing here is that we have eyes in the sky through our drones, through our helicopters. Then we have boats in the water. Our fire boats, our harbor boats. The Coast Guard are looking for sharks. And we can’t forget we have people on land, our lifeguards who are out there every day looking at the water to protect all our beach-goers.”
