Shark Attacks On Surfers

Shark Attacks On Surfers

Contrary to popular belief, sharks do not make a conscious effort to attack humans. In fact, there aren't nearly as many attacks as you would think. More people die from being struck by lightning every year than from shark attacks. The year 2000 had the highest number of recorded shark attacks, and even then it was only a total of 79 worldwide. Most of them occurred on the coasts of the United States, and only 16 of them proved to be fatal. On average, only about 4 people in the entire world die from shark attack related injuries each year. The location with the highest number of attacks is New Smyrna Beach, in Florida, USA.
