一 | “So I felt a sharp pain—pressure in my hand as I’m treading water and I pull it towards me and I realize something’s kind of attached to it. So I start hammer punching down and I connected with the animal—the shark—three times. And on the third time, the whole shark flipped the other way and swam out to sea,” said Gallo, who has been a lifeguard for 10 years.,Gallo was playing victim in an ocean training exercise when he was attacked by what is thought to be a 4 to 5 foot long shark off Smith Point Beach.,“And it was that moment where I realized that we were dealing with a shark here and I yelled at the other guards that were in the water, you know, ‘Swim to shore, swim to shore,’ and then swam as fast as I could to shore,” recounted Gallo, who was able to walk away from the encounter and sustained only minor injuries on his right hand and the right side of his chest.,Suffolk County Park officials announced that they would be closing Smith Point and Cupsogue beaches following the attack on Sunday, citing “dangerous marine activity” as the cause.,Two Women Killed in Shark Attack Off Egypt's Red Sea Coast – Ministry of Environment3 July, 20:36 GMT,Officials first ramped up patrol of the Atlantic shore using drones, jet skis, boats and helicopters after a fisherman spotted a 10 foot mako shark near Point Lookout—which is located just 54.5 miles from Smith Point—during Memorial Day weekend.,The type of shark that attacked Gallo has not been disclosed but marine biologists believe waters off Long Island could be acting as a nursery for immature (baby) Great White sharks due to an abundance of bait fish in that area. Warmer waters due to climate change are also drawing hammerheads and bull sharks, too.,“I ripped back and just started hammer-punching, and I felt the rubber texture of the head. It felt like the size of a basketball,” said Gallo of the attack.,On Thursday, a 37-year-old was swimming off of Jones Beach when he sustained a “laceration to his right foot,” according to Nassau County Police, which authorities speculate was a possible shark bite.,On Monday, Smith Point and Cupsogue beaches reopened at 10 a.m., just in time for Fourth of July celebrations, with continued monitoring of the shoreline. The attack on Sunday at Smith Point was the first reported incident of its kind since the beach first opened in 1959.,“I’m grateful that it was a minor injury. It could have been a lot worse, and I’m just very grateful that I walked out of the water on my own. I’m grateful that I received EMT services right away. I’m grateful that I work at a beach with the best lifeguards in the world," said Caitlin Murray who is Gallo's wife. She told the New York Post she didn't believe what had happened to her husband, and at first, believed it was a joke.,“I’m just proud he had the strength to tell everyone to get out, too. I’m so glad he walked away with a scratch, but he’s the best guard to pick on because he’s the biggest dude on the beach. I’m very proud," she added.。 AI摘要 近日，漳州芗城万达广场举办“犬有所属，城有所序”文明养犬公益活动，提供登记办证、防疫咨询等服务，设互动游戏与公益领养区，5只犬现场被领养，推动文明养犬融入日常。 城管执法人员向市民讲解文明养犬规范及犬只领养相关事项 近日，“犬有所属，城有所序”文明养犬公益宣传暨便民服务活动在芗城万达广场举行。 本次活动由市城管局、公安局、农业农村局主办，现场设置养犬登记、便民办证、防疫咨询等服务窗口，工作人员在为犬主答疑、办理业务的同时，宣传讲解牵绳遛犬、及时清理犬只粪便、做好犬只防疫等文明养犬要求。 在互动游戏区，不少犬主牵着爱犬在“文明养犬大富翁”巨型棋盘上掷骰子、答问题；公益领养区也吸引不少市民驻足，城管执法人员、志愿者发放宣传资料、介绍犬只情况和领养要求。当天共有5只犬现场找到新主人——从“等待领养”到“找到归宿”，“犬有所属”有了更具体的落点。 “文明养犬，一头连着养犬人的责任，一头连着公共空间的秩序。”市城管局相关负责人表示，未来将继续把服务送近一步、把规则讲清一点，让文明养犬更自然地融入日常生活。（漳州融媒记者 曾婷婷 通讯员 何娴 文/供图）。
