Red and purple flags were being used to warn swimmers of the dangers.
Authorities are using boats to patrol the ocean and warning swimmers about sharks this weekend along Florida’s Gulf Coast, where three people were hurt in two separate shark attacks on Friday.
Small fish are travelling in schools near the shore this time of year, which might have been a contributing factor in the attacks, the Bay County Sheriff’s Office said. Less than two hours later, firefighters responded to another beach about four miles east of the first attack “following multiple reports of a teenager injured by a shark”, the sheriff’s office said.
