It’s a small town that runs on summer tourism money. Shutting down the beach on the holiday weekend would cause many businesses to fail.
Yeah - some girl got killed by a shark. But that’s a tragic freak accident, not a pattern. One person dying to a shark attack is no reason to essentially shut down a city’s entire economy. It’s not like we shut down all the roads if a deer jumps in front of a car and causes a wreck.
