Yes, swimmers, there ARE sharks in Long Island Sound! Sand tiger sharks, which grow to be about ten feet long, are the featured creature in The Maritime Aquarium's 110,000 gallon 'Open Ocean Exhibit,' where they live peacefully with other inhabitants of the Sound's deeper depths. And although the number of attacks world-wide by sand tiger sharks make them the fourth most dangerous species in the world, there hasn't been a recorded incident in Long Island Sound since 1961.
