Alabama Teen Survivor Advocates for Shark Attack Alert System to Enhance Coastal Safety

An Alabama teenager, Lulu Gribbin, who survived a shark attack, is advocating for a proposed alert system to enhance public safety in coastal waters, similar to the Amber Alert. Introduced by Republican Representative David Faulkner, the system aims to provide timely warnings of unprovoked shark attacks to beachgoers. Gribbin emphasized the importance of such alerts in preventing future incidents, highlighting the proximity of another attack shortly before hers, as the bill gains attention for its potential to improve coastal safety.
