Surprised at no mention of global warming. The increase in attacks being attributed to the increase in the number of sharks due to protections in place for the sharks. The 1916 attacks in the NJ area interesting. Two fatalities in the ocean, two fatalities in Matewan Creek (and another serious injury in the creek). Blamed on a young great white that was later killed, but hard to believe the Matewan Creek attacks weren't a bull shark since the attacks were about 7 miles up the creek.

Shark attacks up across the U.S.

Beware this is the time land-sharks swarm. Air-sharks favor the Midwest and are plentiful just before any stormy weather.

There is considerable danger scientists and sharkologists say that this could be one of the most dangerous years for shark predation; they advise people wear masks to fool the sharks and their notoriously bad eyesight.

They also advise frequent showers and avoid scented soaps, perfumes and so forth as sharks hunt by smell.

Such a mystery. But it could have NOTHING to do with government regulations...

What do seals and sharks have in common?

Both seals and sharks have inhabited waters around Cape Cod and the Islands for centuries, long before humans.

Both have been increasing in numbers since the passage of federal regulations after populations were severely depleted by hunting and fishing.

I am from Florida and had a successful interview resulting in a job offer in Mesa. I stayed a few days to get a feel for the area. The mountains and reservoirs up around Tortilla Flats were great, and fantastic night skies away from the developed areas are spectacular. I turned down the job. My reason, “ Lot’s of Beach, No Ocean”.

Among them was a Fire Island lifeguard who was bitten on the foot.

Explain to me how monkey pox got started?

You're not supposed to mate with male sharks, either!

I remember all the shark attacks in the summer of 2001. We thought that would be the “story of the year.”

Keep in mind….it can always get worse.

“And an Arizona tourist was bitten on the hand and buttocks while standing in waist deep water, suffering wounds to his lower leg while he surfed.”

Surfing Arizona style.

There is so much we can learn from sharks.

Their work on Faster Than Light travel is brilliant.

Shark attacks?

I seem to recall a wave of reports in the summer of 2001.

I wonder what's on for this September?

“Shark attacks up across the U.S.”

Just last night, lady was attacked by a shark while crossing the Wal-Mart parking lot.

Never seen anything like it.
