Reported shark attack on HHI
SUMMARY: On Hilton Head Island, HHIFR responded to a medical emergency involving a possible shark bite. Shore Beach Services and HHIFR provided care, deeming the injury non-life threatening before the person was airlifted to Savannah. According to the Georgia Aquarium, shark bites are rare, with humans not considered prey. If you spot a shark while swimming, stay calm, exit the water, maintain eye contact, and stick together if in a group. Most attacks are curiosity-driven; never feed or touch sharks. Warning signs of aggression include specific swimming patterns and low-light activity. Remember, shark attacks are far less likely than other beach hazards.
