The video, shared by the events siteOnly in Dade, generated a heated controversy over whether the so-called Sunshine State faces a problem with sharks, something that could hinder the tourist attraction of its keys and beaches.

Florida has ranked No. 1 in the number of shark bites for decades, according to data from trackingsharks.com.
Florida's 16 cases in 2022 represent 39% of the U.S. total and 28% of unprovoked bites worldwide, according to the Florida Museum. Florida's annual average over the past five years is 22 incidents.
Days ago, Florida fishermenThey captured a great white shark off the coast near the city of Miami, in a tense moment that they managed to record with their cell phones and then spread it on social networks. The shark was released to return to its natural habitat.
In mid-January,three hammerhead sharks caused stupor when they reached the same shore from a beach in Florida, where bathers couldn't believe what they saw. The event happened at dusk on Anna Maria Island, a barrier island located off the coast of Manatee County.
