Many people don't realize that we in Fla. have more land/sea exposure than any other state - thousands of miles. Considering the millions who bathe year round the
odds of a shark attack are infintesimal. If you want to read a great book about shark attacks get "Twelve Days of Terror" by Richard Fernicola, M.D. It's about five people who were attacked in NJ (four of whom died) in 1916 and gives alot of information about shark behaviour. Some of
those attacked were in fresh water that connected to the ocean which leads many to believe it was a bull shark which can survive in both fresh and salt water. It's a great read,exciting and educational.
More than Alaska????
