Florida’s 100,000 Shark Migration

by The Editors on February 3, 2011

Article-1352758-0D01E08E000005Dc-167 468X570The Daily Mail headline was a little hard to miss: “100,000 sharks mass off Florida’s beaches.” And so far no one has been bitten. Not even in Volusia Country, the shark-bite capital of the world.

Pilot Steve Irwin [no relation] was astonished after spotting a mass of more than 100,000 sharks swimming just 100 yards off Florida’s sandy beaches.. . . The sharks – believed to be Spinners, between 3ft and 7ft long – were heading north and swimming parallel to the east coast’s idyllic white beaches between Fort Lauderdale and exclusive Jupiter Island.

As if Florida surfers didn’t have it hard enough already. . .[Editors’ note: We think that’s the fourth or fifth time we’ve said that.]

It’s sad that right after this article was written, stating “So far, no one has been bitten” A kiteboarding was killed by sharks just off Stuart beaches. 🙁
