PALM BEACH, FL--One day after a fatal shark attack in Martin County, schools of sharks were seen off Palm Beach.
There were easily more than a hundred in the water off Reef Road Thursday morning.
Lifeguards will monitor the migrating sharks and decide whether any beaches need to be closed.
Wednesday Stephen Schafer died of multiple shark bites while kite boarding south of Stuart Beach.
The 38 year old was about a quarter mile offshore when a lifeguard noticed him and pulled him to shore.
Schafer later died at Martin Memorial Medical Center.
Last week beaches were closed for three days on Singer Island because of shark sightings.
Two fishermen reeled in a nearly 10 foot hammerhead shark, then released it.
Hammerheads along with spinners, reef, and bull sharks are very common off south Florida this time of year. They follow schools of migrating fish along the Florida coastline.
