In the space of a few days, in the United States, seven shark attacks have been recorded on the Atlantic coast. How to explain this phenomenon ? Response elements.
On this day of summer vacation, Navarre Beach in Florida (USA) is crowded. Suddenly, a shark appears in the middle of the swimmers. The swimmers don’t seem to panic and the shark leaves. The week of June 26, things went less well for a young vacationer. She had 50 stitches after a shark attack. “He was so quick and aggressive. He bit me three times in a row“, says the girl.
41 attacks in 2022
Shark attacks are common in Florida. Only, this year, they intervene earlier in the season. They also take place much further north than usual. On a beach near New York, four attacks took place in two days. Each time, the bites are not serious, caused by small sharks that come looking for food near the beaches. George Gorman, Director of New York State Regional Parks, explains: “These bites are errors. Sharks look for fish from shallow depths. That’s why they bite.“In 2022, the United States recorded 41 shark attacks.
