(CNN) An Australian man died after he was attacked by a shark on Tuesday at a popular surfing spot in Queensland, authorities say. Cabral told 9 News that he was filming his 13-year-old son in the water when he heard people yelling "shark, shark, shark." There have been at least six fatal shark attacks this year, according to the Australian Shark Attack File at the Taronga Conservation Society Australia. Gavin Naylor, the program director of the Florida Program for Shark Research, told CNN that the number of fatal shark attacks can jump dramatically from year to year. The program runs the International Shark Attack File , a global database of shark attacks.
