Florida: A Hot Spot for Shark Attacks
Living in Florida, you always have a bit of fear in the back of your mind that you may find yourself in some unfamiliar territories. I'm not trying to scare the tourists that travel to Florida every year to swim in the ocean and walk on the glorious beaches of the Sunshine State. You just have to remember, every time you step into the ocean you're in a domain that doesn't belong to you or I.
A small strip of Florida’s coastline is infamous for its record number of shark attacks. A total of 135 shark attacks occurred along this 47-mile strip of land in Volusia Country between 1999 and 2008.
That is 21 percent of the global number of shark attacks during that time, according a new study.Check out the rest of the study on the Hotspots For Shark Attacks in Florida and Why They Occur @Discovery News

ehhh...I do not even want to look at the study. I would not make it in a costal town. I am terrified of the ocean. I have too many control issues to get into the water where something like a shark is lurking around. I guess watching JAWS as a child ruined me with the ocean for life:(
I said the same thing you did Jo. I'm a bit weary when it comes to going in the ocean now.
I always enjoyed swimming in Florida's ocean coast, but was always leery and never ventured too far out for too long. Never saw one in their domain, but saw many different species in aquariums. They are very scary sea monsters for sure.
