In January 2024, a 10-year-old boy from Maryland was hospitalized after being bitten on his right leg during a shark tank expedition at a Bahamian resort.

Two U.S. tourists were mauled in a suspected shark attack while swimming in the sea in the Bahamas. The Royal Bahamas Police Force has launched an investigation after two women, neither of whom have been publicly identified, were injured off Bimini Bay. The incident occurred at about 6:30 p.m. on Friday, according to police.
