Neille said that from a global perspective, the shark attacker incident was the same as in previous years. "Globally, the shark attackers occur every year from 70 to 80, but this is a global phenomenon, and the distribution is uneven. The next year may be frequent in New Cauritonia, or it may be frequent in Western Australia. This year, it is near the coast of Long Island. "

Neil further explained the cause of the shark attacker. The shark that attacked swimmers near Long Island was looking for food, not to attack people. Most of these sharks are sand tiger sharks, they look terrible, but they are not aggressive. They come to the coastal waters to prey in bait.

Due to the changes in the ocean flow, bait fish along the coast this year are particularly dense on the northeast coast, and the sharks that follow these bait fish to the coastal waters will be extremely excited, and those little sharks are likely to mistake their feet as bait as bait. Fish, which leads to such tragedies.

When swimming, don't wear jewelry, so as not to mistake the light of the jewelry as the light of the fish scales. If you really meet a shark, you should leave the water slowly and not panic.
