There is a limit of one shark per person, per day, according to recreational fishing regulations.

At least three sharks about two feet long each were dumped next to the Indian River.

“If you don’t want them, you need to release them. Don’t just dump them on the shore to die,” a Brevard resident posted  Thursday on a Titusville Facebook group.

FWC confirmed that the photo (above) posted to Facebook shows the sharks at the Titusville park.

Florida Fish and Wildlife officials are seeking any information about the incident. People can call the fish kill hotline at 800-636-0511.
