Beaches have been temporarily closed near Cocoa Beach Pier and Alan Shepard Park because of sharks. Around 11a.m., a lifeguard noticed a shark "frolicking near the shore," after that lifeguards shut down the beach for about an hour. Then, around noon, another shark was spotted " Our northern tower at Shepard Park had a shark sighting in the water, directly in front of the lifeguard tower,". Worldwide, there are 81 shark bites in 2016, down from the record of 98 in 2015. Florida has the most, as 32 out of 3 bites coming from the U.S.. George Burgess, curator of the International Shark Attack File, has said the event of a shark bite is more a function of human behavior than it is of shark behavior.
This article is about the recent closing of certain beaches due to shark infested waters. This article is written by Rick Neale on April/9/2017. Everyone has a fear of something, one of my fears is sharks. I know they don't see a human with a surfboard, but a seal. It's still scary to be in the ocean and to be around those creatures. I think its very important for there to be lifeguards at every beach, every beach I go to I have never seen one. One bite has more effect on a human than a shark, so its good to have regulation and keep the numbers down. This article relates to any survivor of the shark attacks or has been in correlation with a shark in the wild. Many of these attacks happen could happen in Vilano beach,Daytonna Beach Shores, Fort Lauderdale, and Florida Keys, all with shark attacks in 2015.

It's best to think in a way that respects the creations around us. The sharks occupied the ocean before us and we should respect that.
