US EditionOne year after 2 teens attacked by shark on Gulf Coast, communities working to set up alerts
- On June 7, 2024, two teens including 15-year-old Lulu Gribbin were attacked by a shark off the Gulf Coast near the Florida panhandle.
- The attacks led to severe injuries, including partial loss of Lulu’s left arm and leg, prompting statewide efforts to improve beach safety.
- Over the past year, Lulu has focused on her recovery and championed safety initiatives through her group Lulu Strong, successfully advocating for legislation that introduces shark warning systems along the coastlines of Mobile and Baldwin Counties.
- Governor Kay Ivey signed Lulu’s Law last month, and Baldwin County Emergency Management Director Tom Tyler said the alerts will be a vital tool to keep people safe along Alabama’s coast.
- The shark alerts will take effect on October 1, 2025, with systems expected to be ready by next summer, aiming to protect mostly out-of-town visitors from unprovoked attacks.
