One of the most enjoyable experience or get together for closeness is with your family, friends and peers. Beach is one of the best destination. As we all know, there are circumstances or dangers beyond our expectation that will happen and an example is SHARK ATTACK! In this section, you will surely be knowledgeable on what you need to do if these occur:
An increasing number of shark attacks on our coasts. It is thought that ocean warming may be causing the dangerous shark species to move forward northward. About 100 people are attacked yearly; about 35 die.
A deep bite. Tiger sharks are the only ones which eat people; the great white shark and bull shark nly take a bite.
WHAT TO DO:
1. When you are in the water, do not carry dead fish. Do not swim alone at night, early in the morning, or late in the evening.
2. Stay out of murky water.
3. Do not wear contrasting colors or flashing objects. Purchase an underwater attack gun.
When in shark waters, but no shark is in sight, watch for fins. If you see one fin cutting the surface, it is probably a porpoise. Two fins, one behind the other, is likely to be a shark.
If you spot a shark, stay calm, swim calmly and rhythmically back to land or boat. Keep the shark in sight, especially when you are underwater. In most shark attacks, the victim did not see the shark.
Sharks seem to shy away from people who look directly at them. If he comes at you, hit him on the nose. It's the very sensitive area, and he is likely to retreat.
The most dangerous sharks are the great white, tiger and bull. Bull sharks are in the Mississippi River as far as Ohio.
