Shark attacks over the years have dropped significantly over this past decade. In 2000 there were 79 attacks reported world wide and 11 of them were fatal. By 2008 the Globe Shark Attack File reported 69 attacks. This could be due to the killing of the sharks for every one person killed by a shark 10 million are killed.
Many people do not realize that out all the different species of sharks only a small amount of them are dangrous to humans.
The International Shark Attack File investigated 112 shark attacks reported in 2007 and 71 of those were unprovoked attacks. The other 41 were provoked attacks this means that humans initates the contact with the shark. This is caused by humans being more interactive in the ocean.
