Florida Maintains Lead in U.S. Shark Bites, with Volusia County at the Epicenter

Florida, is the epicenter of shark bites in the U.S., Volusia County continues to record the highest number of incidents, solidifying its reputation as the "Shark Bite Capital of the World." The University of Florida's International Shark Attack File shows that surfers, who make up 42% of last year's victims, are particularly susceptible due to their frequent presence in risky waters. Safety tips to avoid shark encounters include avoiding waters with baitfish, not wearing shiny jewelry, and swimming in groups. Despite precautions, accidents occur, as evidenced by Chris Pospisil's 2023 encounter, where he suffered severe foot injuries from a shark bite while surfing. (Daytona News-Journal)
