Record shark attacks: experts warn there will be more this summer. Almost all attacks tend to occur during the summers of the northern and southern hemispheres.
"These animals are used to living in a food desert, so when they find something, they're going to try it," says Gavin Naylor, director of the shark research program at the Florida Museum of Natural History. Although there is a whole list of recommendations, ISAF can only offer three scientifically proven recommendations: swim near the coast, do not swim at dawn or dusk, and avoid excess splash.
