Second Reported Shark Bite on Hilton Head Island in One Week
- A second shark bite was reported around noon on Sunday, June 22, at Coligny Beach Park on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.
- This incident occurred less than one week after a 12-year-old girl suffered non-life-threatening leg injuries from a shark bite at Sea Pines Resort on Hilton Head Island on June 17.
- Both victims were treated onsite and airlifted to hospitals in Savannah, Georgia, with injuries described as consistent with shark bite lacerations to the leg.
- Last year, the U.S. recorded 28 unprovoked shark bites, with Florida having 14 and South Carolina two, and experts note increased baitfish activity might contribute to recent shark presence.
- Despite these events, local beachgoers report they continue swimming, while officials urge heightened awareness because the ocean is the sharks’ natural habitat.
