LONG BEACH, Calif. (KABC) -- Off the Southern California coast not far from San Diego, it looks any other patch of the Pacific Ocean -- until you look from above. Researchers call it a shark nursery, one of several along the Southern California shore. Eyewitness News visited the area with a team of researchers from the Cal State Long Beach Shark Lab. Our boat left early in the morning from San Diego for the two-hour trip north to this new shark gathering spot, just feet from the shore. "The first time I saw white shark near a beach, a baby white shark near a beach, I just couldn't believe it," said Chris Lowe, the head of Shark Lab.
