Shark Attacks

A shark attack off Key West and one off Key Biscayne are the latest to have been reported in the state this summer. But while reports might suggest that they are on the rise, experts say that the number of incidents this year are in line with the annual average.

Authorities say a man bitten by a shark over the weekend on Florida's northeast coast is recovering. Officials from the Nassau County Sheriff's Office north of Jacksonville found the victim aboard a boat on Friday with a severe shark bite on his arm.

Walton County officials have reopened their beaches, but fly purple flags to make beachgoers aware of dangerous marine life.

The attacks off beaches in the Florida Panhandle led authorities to temporarily close several beaches to swimmers on Friday. Beaches were reopened Saturday, with flags warning of high hazards.

Volusia had the most in the state, with four.

Still, the Florida Museum of Natural History's International Shark Attack File says the high number of shark bites and deaths last year was on par with long-term averages.

Most of the attacks occurred in Volusia County.
