Shark bites man who was boating off Florida coast, leaving him in critical condition

A man on a boat off Florida’s east coast was seriously injured when he was attacked by a shark. The Nassau County Sheriff’s Office Marine Unit responded to the incident and found the victim with a severe bite to his right arm. A deputy quickly applied a tourniquet to stop the bleeding and the man was airlifted to a local hospital. The incident occurred during a period of heightened shark activity in Florida waters, but such attacks remain rare. Florida has the highest number of reported shark bites globally, but fatalities are uncommon.
