I agree. Saw one on Tuesday while surfing in Boynton Beach, probably 9 ft or so. She was moving silently through the water. Great day in my book.

Yes, shark bites were down last year, but that is almost 100% attributable to conditions in Florida. Florida is responsible for the majority of bites.Too soon for a respectable analysis to be completed, but I suspect red tide is probably the reason. Either a) shark prey (fish) avoided areas of red tide so the sharks weren't there or b) humans didn't enter the water as much, reducing the potential for shark/human interactions.For more information, here is the group that tracks shark bites:https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/shark-attacks/
