The agency posted around 1 p.m. that firefighters were setting up a rope system for a recovery mission on the beach south of Davenport in Santa Cruz County. They were able to bring the body up from the beach to the bluffs before clearing the scene.
The Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office said on Facebook that “due to the close proximity to the recent shark attack victim in Monterey County,” they will be working with the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office and the Pacific Grove Police Department on the recovery.
The action comes after a 55-year-old swimmer named Erica Fox disappeared on Sunday near Lovers Point in Pacific Grove, where sharks were reportedly seen in the area. KSBW reported that the body was a woman, but officials did not release any identifying information.
