New York State Parks officials say sharks were spotted once again at Jones Beach Saturday.
They say three thresher sharks were spotted in front of the Central Mall around noon, and were feeding on a pod of bunker fish.
Officials say swimming was prohibited in the water for a time, but swimmers have since returned to the water.
