U.S. registers sharp drop in shark attacks last year
04.03.10
Surfers and other deep blue sea-sport enthusiasts might find solace in the news
that shark attacks in the Cooperative States declined in
2009, according to a University of Florida article released Monday.
"The big story is that the number of attacks in the Collective States
dropped dramatically from 41 in 2008 to 28 in 2009," said George
Burgess , top banana of the International Shark Attack File at the university. "All things there were 50 attacks in 2007, we
may have a bit of a trend, but only time will tell."
One plausibility for the decline of attacks in U.S. coastal waters
may be that fewer people visited the shore due to the dip.
"Florida's population hasn't gone down, so I think
the economy could have had an effect on how many times people can
afford to put gas in their cars and go to the margin," added Burgess.
Worldwide is a different story, however, with attacks edging up ever so minor extent, from 60 in 2008 to 61 in 2009.
