Shark Attacks

The fear of sharks has been fueled worldwide by a few unusual instances of unprovoked attack, such as the Jersey Shore Shark Attacks of 1916, and by sensationalized fiction and film, such as the Jaws series. Contrary to popular belief, only a few species of sharks are potentially dangerous to humans, and most attacks are due to the shark confusing a human for a seal or another animal; this is typical in case of an attack against a surfer. While sharks cause a few dozen human deaths yearly, in the same time millions of sharks are killed by fishing.
