Why are these news not automatically linked to climate change? Short answer: The news is too positive or who cares about such a minute risk!
Or is the largely aging global population not so daring anymore and swims less? 😊
I suspect, shark attacks on humans are underreported. Most attacks are reported mainly from the US and Australia.
Simply don't swim to far from the shore!
"The International Shark Attack File, maintained by the Florida Museum of Natural History, provides data on what are considered unprovoked bites, defined as incidents in which a person does not initiate contact with a shark. Instances in which a person intentionally or unintentionally initiates contact, including spearfishing and releasing sharks from nets or hooks, are not included in the report.
The report shows worldwide, there were only 47 unprovoked attacks, down 22 from the previous year and well below the 10-year average of 70. Four of last year’s attacks resulted in fatalities, also a significant reduction from recent years."
