There's a battle going on for one of the main tourist attractions going on down there. People are paying money to go into the water with sharks and feed them.. Residents are claiming that this is making sharks more aggressive towards humans. I.E. Humans and no food, means humans are food.

Not sure if this is it or not, could have been a recap of an old story... either way :2purples: the carp at the local marina give me the creeps....
DALLAS (Reuters) - A Texas teenager who went out fishing came back with
an unexpected catch, an 11-inch (27-cm) piranha, a local newspaper
reported Friday.
Quinton Crocker reeled in the sharp-toothed carnivore, which is native to
South American rivers but not anywhere in North America, in Stillhouse
Hollow lake, a large central Texas reservoir near the town of Killeen.
``I've lived here all my life and never seen one of these,'' the
15-year-old told the Killeen Daily Herald. ``It was different catching
one. I didn't really know what to expect.''
Officials said the fish was most likely released into the wild after
getting too big for some owner's aquarium.
They said there could be other piranhas from the same source and they
could even spawn, but the next cold winter would kill them off.
``Are these dangerous for bathers and swimmers? No,'' Norman Williams, a
zoologist and chairman of the Department of Sciences at Central Texas
College, told the newspaper.
``The stories of piranha attacks are grossly exaggerated by Hollywood,''
said Williams, who identified Crocker's catch.

4-Year-Old Pulls Piranha From Lancaster County River
POSTED: 6:17 pm EDT June 28, 2005
UPDATED: 6:43 pm EDT June 28, 2005
LANCASTER, Pa. -- A 4-year-old fisherman pulled an unusual catch from the Conestoga River in Lancaster County.
James Weaver hauled out a 15-inch piranha while fishing in Leola recently.
Most people believe the biting fish was probably a pet that got too big and was released.
It was pretty hardy to survive the low water temperatures. Usually piranha need warmer water to survive.

[CandyA$$]

because it says Lancaster you could assume it was local

BOCA GRANDE, Fla. - A shark bit an Austrian tourist on the ankle Friday while the man stood in chest-deep water in the Gulf of Mexico, the sheriff's office said. It was the third shark attack in the state in a week.

Armin Projer, 19, was airlifted by helicopter to Lee Memorial Hospital in Fort Myers, where he was in good condition, hospital spokeswoman Pat Dolce said.
"It is a confirmed shark attack," Lee County sheriff's spokeswoman Ileana LiMarzi said. "Someone else in the water saw a shark."
Paramedics also indicated the wound was consistent with a shark bite, she said. The man was bitten near the lighthouse at Gasparilla Island Beach.
"We are out there right now letting people know, notifying people on the beach about what happened," LiMarzi said. The beach was not closed to swimmers.
Two other young people have been bitten since Saturday in gulf water off Florida. The latest incident was about 280 miles from an attack Monday on a 16-year-old boy who lost his leg and about 350 miles from the spot where a 14-year-old girl was killed Saturday.
Experts believed bull sharks attacked both teens in the Florida Panhandle. The type of shark involved in Friday's attack was not immediately determined.
Experts say shark attacks are rare, pointing out that there were only 30 in 2003 among the millions of people who hit the state's beaches. Most of those attacks were minor bites on the feet or ankles. Last year, when four hurricanes kept many visitors away, there were 12 attacks.
