A shark expert says the number of shark sightings this year is normal but warns sharks can attack because they're curious. 
DOC marine technical advisor Clinton Duffy says shark sightings are common at New Zealand beaches and aren't something to be concerned over.
"When you're up in the air and any high vantage point you'll often see sharks at swimming beaches."
In late December, Duffy watched a two-metre Bronze Whaler swim past his wife and kids at Whananaki Beach but says it's a species he "wouldn't normally be worried about."
