3 in one day doesn't seem rare

Here I'll do it for him; it's Florida, it's summer. It's not rare, We are THE SHARK BITE CAPITOL OF THE WORLD.

I'm so sick of this mistaken identity bs. Sharks are predators.

Humans eat fish Fish eat humans

For those of us from this area of beach…..the purple flag has been up for 3 weeks. Meaning, stingray, sharks, jellyfish

Just a tip do not swim in between sand bars sharks love them because the water flows more and they can rest.

I read that any bathing suits with shiny metallic fibers or shiny metallic decorations should not be worn at the beach. The shine looks like fish skin...same way a fishing lure does.

The Gulf is host to Bull Sharks, one of the most aggressive species.

Test Bite: I saw on one occasion a test Bite , came back and was dragging the man into deeper water. I guess the shark liked the test Bite enough to try to make him into a meal...

Good thing there wasn’t any active tornadoes at this time.

I wonder if people were fishing nearby… which would attract the sharks.

We need to stop saying at this point that sharks attack by mistaken identity… they. Are taking limbs …

It happened in Florida? It’s Ron and Donald’s fault.

I know these stretches of beach and I can confirm the assumption that it is a bull shark.

SHARKS IN WATER PEOPLE In WATER

Expected by taking that risk in going into the ocean as it is their territory after all..

"BULLS ON PARADE!"

Beach businesses would do well to begin paying jet ski operators to patrol swimming areas. Just don't hire the obvious weekend undisciplined yahoos. Fishing piers close proximity is not a good choice for a swimming area.

Me trying to make an essay seem longer by saying the same thing 15 different ways: "It's extremely sad, its.. again.. extremely rare, but it doesn't help if you're that rare person that gets attacked" Like... what? 😂😂😂

Rare 😂 3 in 6 hours?? Does he think we are stupid

A memorable experience to tell the grandkids

black? You mean like a seal? If they can put out drones to watch traffic on the road, then they can put drones over where people swim and watch for sharks

It is their environment.

I have a very colorful one piece and it makes sense that I would be seen as a colorful fish 🐠

Dr. Powers gave the facts without hysteria inducing which is very responsible. Thank you Dr. powers. 😊

It’s because the navy is doing underwater sonar and sound tests. High frequency underwater tests. I think it is the reason that more sharks are coming to the area

1) Can air and sea drones please be set up to help secure beaches near designated booths attended by life-guards (for viewing drone- cameras on multiple live- stream screens & to operate in-booth drone controls)? ~~~ ALSO ~~ 2) Integrate regulations related to 🚩DREDGING🏊 ("renourishing" eroded beach sand), to avoid accidentally increasing shark access (esp to dips between sandbars) & stirring up bait-fish populations where and when swimmers will be nearby!!! ~~~~~~~ Ocean swimming isn't just important to the tourism industry, but also to the health & pleasure of local populations. 🏖️ Thank you.

My guess is that it was the same bull shark.

He's saying to wear black or blue but wouldn't the shark mistaken black for a seal?! 👍

Shark week is interesting year

Not mistaken identity lol Look at all the sensory information a shark has, they aren’t biting by mistake.

To say it's extremely rare and then to follow up saying yes two attacks happened within an hour makes me think its not that rare. Every summer I'm hearing about 7 to 8 attacks just in north Carolina yet "experts" claim its rare. 1 attack is too many.

Just like any fishery, they can lessen the protection since they aren't endangered any longer. Especially bull sharks. Shark fin soup and steaks anybody?

Oh BS with the test bite! Your on the menue to a bull shark. When you swim off the east coast of Florida you are never more than 15 yrds from the bull sharks. Their all over the coast of Florida. Be extremely careful in the lakes down here too a lot of them lead out to the St John's river wich is brackish and bull sharks are in it.

Does anyone know that that area was in the area around Deer Park Beach.

Im feel bad for victums but Half Mass is reserved for military and first responders in some cases.

Shark attacks are extremely rare on land. It's a different story when you're splashing around in water.

IF U GO I TO THE OCEAN YOU TAKE A RISK! END OF STORY! IT IS THEIR WORLD! Stay out of it! If you live around the ocean and you want to swim then do it smartly but I would just STAY OUT! Not worth it to me! Don’t blame the sharks!

Mistaken identity is BS. If you're in the ocean, you're fair game to a shark. The ocean isn't a playground. Use a swimming pool.

Shark attacks are no longer rare. These sharks are attacking more frequently and are coming right by the shore where people are. I stay out of the water. Too dangerous!!

Mother nature 🤷

Well, if I were a shark and saw hundreds of legs standing or moving slowly in the water…well…easy pickings! Im a Floridian and a scuba diver…as he said: Humans are in THEIR home…they’re not coming up on land and dragging humans into the water…as WE DO with them…

June is when bullsharks mate

It’s not extremely rare stop listening to fools and start praying for your family

More food in the water=more shark attacks. Simple math really

I’ll catch this bird for you, but it ain’t gonna be easy. Bad fish! Not like going down to the pond and chasing bluegills and tommycods. This shark, swallow ya whole. Little shakin’, little tenderizin’, down you go!

Biologists need to take a break on "Attacks are super rare". They are rare because people and sharks don't necessarily swim in the same areas, but when they do the chance that a bull shark will get interested in a swimmer is quite high. Bull sharks are extremely aggressive and investigate everything that moves.

Sharks live in the ocean. bears live in the mountains. And I live in a neighborhood and if you come to any of these three places acting out of order, you can expect the same result from all three places.

Shark happens... it's the ocean, they eat meat... we're meat... duh

But it's a friendly bite

You can look no further than the commercial fishing wiping the fish stocks out

Test biting?? What are we weight watchers now

Wow. That genius PhD told us new, pertinent info about sharks.

How about STAY OUT OF THEIR TERRITORY!!!!

Great information.

What don’t humans understand 🙄

So like what? A solid navy colored of yellow suit? A totally black or pink? What are you saying, specifically?

The people who have their beach businesses just keep telling the tourist this is rare! What a lie! But I love sharks and it’s their world! Just sit in the sand!

The sharks have been protected from over fishing. Has their food source been protected from over fishing? Nope! Fisherman take large amounts of fish from the ocean all the time…..one aspect of the problem nobody wants to address. Fisherman want to get rich off the ocean’s resources and there are a lot of fisherman out there.

Can’t believe they didn’t blame this on the Bird Flu 😮

845 year old got bit and she was next to us and then the shark swim right by us and then there's so many baby sharks by us

Wonder what kind of shark it is

In 1996 they banned the nets. Well nets kept sharks numbers down. The longer you keep commercial fishermen from catching them. The more things like this will happen!!!

I honestly wish an actual scientist would step up and speak on why orcas are eating sharks, and sharks are attacking humans more frequently, even in very shallow waters. It’s not rare when it’s on the news weekly, or sometimes daily, but gotta have those tourist dollars. The less food for the sharks and other big marine life, the more we taste like chicken.

I'll tell you what type of shark they are...Man Eating Sharks..😂

They must arrange beaches that will be protected from sharks, by breakwater structure in the form of a half -circle C.

2023-2024 there has been a massive spike in shark attacks due to the fishing laws on them and commercial boats supplying chum near swimming areas and resorts so they can make money off of showing off sharks. We gotta stop doing shark showings near resorts(cage showing) and we have to be able to fish for sharks within reason. There’s been so many shark attacks in the last 2 years and all attacks were very aggressive at that

Let’s see,,,,,more people higher water levels and warmer waters 🎉

Bring back shark fishing. There’s far too many!

Local marine scientist weighs in on recent Florida shark attacks 10.6.24 Which fuck wit said play dead if a shark attacks? kindda makes the if a bear attacks play dead advice seem a tad sane.......

Really ? This guy is a joke .. I could of explained this when I was 10 years old

I wish these so-called shark expert will stop saying a shark attack is extremely rare. Hell we have shark attacks every year off Florida, so how in the hell is that extremely rare

Instead of saying “this is rare” we need to be saying “This could happen to any of you who go in the water where sharks live.” Just like “This could happen to any of you who go into any water in the Southern states where alligators live.” People always want to make excuses and claim these aren’t predators who can kill and eat you when They Can Attack You…This IS What They Do….They Aren’t Doing This Because Of Some Reason…They Don’t Have To Have A Reason….This is What They Do….So Remember This Whenever You Want To Get In The Water. As a Florida resident….I never go in the water unless it’s a pool. Go to the beach….lay in the sand….walk along the beach in ankle deep water…relax….but going in the water is too dangerous…not only because of sharks but mostly because of the under current that can pull you away from the shore into deeper water and you can get tired fast and drown.

That's a lie

Humans are limiting their food supply. Maybe they are getting hungry

These FWC guys are nuts, Florida is infested by sharks and they keep adding fishing regulations every year

I hate the “ mistaken identity” argument. Does that make a person any less maimed or killed?? Doesn’t matter the sharks intent (and I highly doubt they are mistaking anything, I don’t mistake a burger for ice cream…). Again doesn’t matter. I don’t go past my knees in the ocean.

It's shark migration season and migrating sharks are eating everything in the area so it only stands to reason that many sharks are hungry because food is scarce. Just stay out of the ocean. Go to the beach and stay out of the water or go to the pool and stay safe.

You mean there’re sharks in the ocean?!?😮

We pull millions of fish out the sea daily yearly since the beginning of time….can’t get mad at the fish for fighting back sad to say

Stay out of the water !!

You have to expect attacks in there environment, We also have to remember the more people in the water more of a chance of encounters, Sharks population is growing but so are humans swimming 😊

People was not designed to be in the ocean that's there habitat I don't see where God created humans to be in the ocean........

Gang gang

We've been training our sharks to eat tourists. 😂

I wouldn’t want to a mistaken identity by a shark . 😮 don’t go in the water

The shark go for the woman when they have the blood week

Fisher men have been sounding the alarm for a few yrs now. The shark populations are booming and need to be dealt with.

We are also in OUR ENVIRONMENT

2 of the 3 girls were on their period.

Warmed ocean waters totes not related to climate change, its ocean wokeness 😂

There's only 1 reason for shark attacks, the fish are hungry

Cant get mad when they bite people be in there space 😂😂 just like if one come in my home imma strike too 😂😂😂😂🤦🤦🤷🤷

Gotta be from the hot water temperature from global warming that is making the sharks go nuts.

Lmao The All Was on there period.

And when was the last time this Dr powers have even been in the ocean ..😳I’d say never

Alligators snakes and sharks serve no purpose eat shh

In all 3 attacks the sharks were racially profiled & provoked.. All three sharks are now in custody & will not be released on bond do to flight risk. Charges pending we will see how this plays out.. I have drone footage of the shark but is not admissible in court..😮

Stop wearing any type of jewelry at all, the flash off said jewelry from the sun will cause an attack to happen

IF U GO I TO THE OCEAN YOU TAKE A RISK! END OF STORY! IT IS THEIR WORLD! Stay out of it! If you live around the ocean and you want to swim then do it smartly but I would just STAY OUT! Not worth it to me! Don’t blame the sharks!
