More than Alaska????
Yes, I found it hard to believe myself but according to the
National Geographic when you consider not only the mainland coast but the scores of islands that stretch from the Georgia border south to 90 miles from Havana and up the Gulf of Mexico to Alabama it's a record land/sea exposure. By the way, that 16 year old from out of state
was standing in chest-high surf with live bait on his person and fishing with live shrimp! Sharks have been known to detect specific odors in the water from a mile away. They can only see about 50' but can sense movement and the slightest vibrations as far away as 1000' from an object.
