Know Where Shark Attacks Occur |
 |
Unprovoked shark attacks, the kind where a shark in its natural habitat attacks humans without any apparent reason, do seem to be on the rise. Although one might assume that shark attacks would be more rampant in Australia's Great Barrier Reef, the truth is that most shark attacks happen in North American waters.
Within the United States, shark attacks happen most often in Florida and then in the waters around California, Texas, Hawaii, North Carolina, Alabama, Oregon, South Carolina. |

At a global level after the US most shark attacks happen in Australia, Brazil, South Africa, Reunion Island in Indian Ocean and also in Bahamas, Cuba, Egypt, Fiji, New Zealand and Venezuela.
Some attacks also occur in Mexico, South America, England, Mascarene Islands, Tanzania, Madagascar, Cape Verde and around the waters in South East Asia around Japan, North Korea and Thailand. There is no guarantee for location and the possibility of becoming a victim might happen anywhere on the ocean.
Research suggests that most of the attacks take place near shore waters and typically inshore of a sandbar or between sandbars where sharks feed and can be trapped during low tide. Precipitous drop-off shore areas in oceans are also likely attack sites. Sharks flock here as their natural food items also come to these areas.
