The U.S. and Australia saw the most unprovoked shark attacks in 2022, and new data released by the University of Florida’s International Shark Attack File shows Florida once again reported more shark attacks than anywhere else in the world.
Shark bites aren't something you hear about every day, but it can still happen. And beachgoers will need to be on guard this Fourth of July holiday weekend. FOX Weather's Nicole Valdes is live from the Chatham Fishing Pier in Massachusetts.
