Shark: Unidentified: probably a Bull Shark or Black Tip
Spending his off-duty time getting in some surfing at New Smyrna Beach, Florida, a lifeguard was bitten on the left foot in yet another shark attack in the Volusia County area. This was exactly the same area that another shark attack occurred just the day before.
This marks the 19th incident this year in Volusia County. The county’s Beach Patrol often warns of the higher concentration of sharks in the waters when bait fish are in the area. When there are pelicans diving into the water and dolphins in the area, these are all indications that swimmers should probably leave the water.
