This is local news here.
The sharks have always been there.
They typically stay off the shallows, which is usually separated by a sandbar.
But erosion and natural sand drifting can cause the sandbars to disappear for a while, allowing the sharks to come in closer.
If their natural prey isn’t sufficient to keep them offshore, they will come in and seek new food sources.
A picture taken from a advertising sign airplane a few years back showed hundreds of sharks all up and down the coast, just yards away from frolicking tourists.
If they posted that pic on every hotel room door, then people would think twice about going way out in the water...............
I bet that is true.
Yep, people swimming in the ocean are around sharks way more than they know.

Or . . . tourists would think twice about going to the Florida panhandle for their vacation!
