Expert Says Sharks May Migrate North to First Coast

Experts My A**. Sharks are always out in the ocean. I was a life guard for years down in Volusia County and we saw them frequently. Smyrna is a hot spot because it is just south of Ponce Inlet and the currents generally run south so it is like the Sharks being at a buffett. Also, why do people find so many sharks teeth at Mickler's in PVB because there are sharks out there. Does not take an expert.

I agree, go in the ocean take the chance of a shark bitting your A**.

I'm hungry...

You get in the ocean, you immediately join the food chain.

I too lived in Volusia county for 10 years, Port Orange to be exact. New Smyrna Beach was always a hot spot for sharks. I remember seeing Hammerheads all in Ponce Inlet when going out in a boat. It is not Mother Nature's mistake if you get bitten. That is their territory.

Great news! We can now fish the pier and surf without those surfer "baits" getting in the way.

The answer is simple, if you don't want to get bit, stay out of the water.

SHARKY sez .... yum, munchy swimmers with those 4 'tentacles' so easy to bite into. And they don't even bite back. HEH PALS, THIS WAY and forgoodnessake keep those dammed fins underwater ... CRUNCHMUNCHSLABBER ...

I want to watch all those young things with piercings everywhere go in the water-SHARK LURES!

Sharks dont eat dark meat and the beaches have been taken over by thugs anyway. I hope the sharks can adapt.

I love how they show a Great White for the heading of shark attack... Dont they watch Discovery, Great whites arent here.. You have a better chance of being shot in Jax then becoming dinner, but hey you want to risk it then swim away.

Hey it takes a Expert to tell people there are sharks in the water... O my

I'm always amazed at moron's like you who can make a race issue out of anything.

We have been swimming in shark infested waters for hundreds of years. You can't go into the surf without swimming with the sharks. It's their home...where they live. It's up to us to be cautious & to take precautions so we won't get bitten. Stop panicing & keep your eyes open. Look before you leap. Use the brain that God gave you. Don't swim where sharks are feeding. I thought we taught our kids this from infancy on.

Thanks for the heads up i am going to New Smyrna Beach for vacation. Now it even gives me a bigger reason NOT to go into the water!!!

This is the same expert that stated you are more likely to suffer a lion attack at the zoo if you go in the lion cage. Yes sharks attack unprovoked sometimes and yes it is often that it is a mistake, but black tips and hammerheads generally dont attack things larger than them unprovoked, most of the time it is a surfer unaware that he is making an advance toward the shark. I'm no expert like the Devry Grad who warns of the migration mind you, I'm only a surfer of 15 years and a scuba diver who has been shark diving before. ps. beware of the sand sharks at Jax beach they swim up under the sand and attack you while you sunbath. they are attracted to the smell of spf sunblock and sometimes hide underneath sand castles
