Are sharks still close to the beaches?

So is it okay to swim now in the Destin / Navarre beach area ? Or is it still double red flag?

Sharks have largely been protected from fishing for the last few decades so their numbers are rising. So yeah there are sharks still close to the beach and will be until we start fishing (or probably overfishing) them again.

Bro, they are literally ON the beaches.

You have no time for the beach. Get back in there and work up a bunch of useless draft analysis on this upcoming crop of players.

Why would we fish sharks?
Not shitting on the practice. Just asking what’s in it for us other than controlling a population?

One could argue, we have overfished areas which bring more sharks into these areas.
Sharks gon shark….

That guy who posted here a week ago must’ve been successful in getting Brett Robinson to get rid of all the sharks.

It's been mostly single red and yellow the past 2 weeks.

Some cultures eat them. I personally wouldn’t due to the mercury content.

Well some of the smaller ones are good eating. Love catching them on the outer banks and cooking them uo fresh.

Yes.
It is where we keep the sharks, almost exclusively.

Sharks are always present along beaches. It's called being the top of the aquatic food chain and following the food source.
