Sea turtle lovers, please don’t come for me but…. my personal opinion is there appears to be a correlation between an increase in the sea turtle population and sharks attacks. Especially in shallow waters. Possibly as a result of coming closer to the shore for the turtles, which are a main food source for sharks. Not a popular ideology given how much has been spent on projects to protect and boost the turtle population, but it’s interesting to look at the sea turtle population map and draw your own conclusions. I do believe many factors play a part, but think this is one that’s been overlooked.

That is ok I have my electric boat. No shark is going to get me.

So Florida has already had half as many shark attacks as it did all of last year……and we’re only halfway through the year. Shocking!
