VENTURA -- People are being told to swim at their own risk after three great white shark attacks on sea lions in the past few months around the Channel Islands.
The National Park Service says the attacks on California sea lions happened near Santa Barbara Island.
There haven't been any attacks on humans, but because of the potential risk, a warning was issued Wednesday.
It will remain in effect until further notice.
Officials say great white sightings in Southern California are rare. Migrating sharks usually pass through without stopping for meals.
