It could have been worse.
Thatâs the consensus by medics and rescue workers who responded to a shark bite victim late Friday afternoon about 1.5 miles off the southwestern tip of Key Biscayneâs Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park.
As the sun was beginning to set to open Easter weekend, a 36-year-old man reportedly received a one-inch puncture wound to his lower leg while in the waters around âStiltsville,â a historic landmark of what was once home to 27 wood stilt houses (now just six remain) built on concrete pilings in the shallow waters of Biscayne Bay.
A speedy fire-rescue boat from the City of Miami Fire Rescue Marine Operations Center at the Bayside Marina brought the victim into the No Name Harbor shore, where Key Biscayne Fire Department personnel escorted him to Mercy Hospital, six miles away, where he was initially listed in stable condition before being treated and released.

Wave pool for surfers expected to crest into New Smyrna Beach in 2022
NEW SMYRNA BEACH Eric Geiselman once survived an encounter with a Great White Shark that bit his surfboard in half.
In 2015, his younger brother Evan was rescued after being swallowed by a 20-foot wave at Oahu s North Shore, leaving his face a blueish-purple color, foaming at the mouth and without breath.
The brothers from New Smyrna Beach have both seen surf breaks around the world, and while nothing can compare to the adventure of Mother Nature s oceans, a new technology that s coming to town has them stoked. American Wave Machines, Inc., has announced it s building a world-class wave pool some 7 miles west of the Atlantic Ocean.
