The Alarming Surge in Shark Attacks: Florida Takes the Lead with Sixteen Incidents in 2022 Alone

In the middle of a long weekend, this crowded Florida beach is panicking. Swimmers rush out of the water, a shark has just appeared. And in recent days, these scenes are multiplying. This city has even become the place in the world with the highest number of shark bites, sixteen in 2022 alone. More surprisingly, many sharks are seen further north. Since the 1830s, there have only been 20 shark attacks in New York State. This week there have been four. How can this upsurge be explained? The State has just invested one million euros to strengthen beach surveillance by drone. Thanks to this, last week, a leap of about fifty sharks was spotted 200 meters from the shore. With climate change increasing the temperature of the ocean, authorities expect the exceptional situation with shark attacks this summer to become the norm in the coming years. TF1 | Report A.
