Going on holiday by the sea raises certain questions. In particular, what to do to avoid being the victim of a shark attack. Perhaps the best solution is not to venture into the water when you are aware of the presence of these dangerous predators.
According to a 2021 ISAF study (international Shark attack file) from the Florida museum, it is in the United States that there are the most, 47 in total. Then followed by Australia (12) and Brazil (3).
Correlated to the first tip, there are areas highly valued by sharks. This is the case of the mouths of rivers and estuaries in tiger and bulldog sharks in Reunion, according to the Habiter à la Réunion website. According to Richard Peirce, shark specialist, they like muddy and turbid aquatic environments.
You should also avoid certain times: Neither at dawn nor at dusk. These are the sharks’ favorite hunting times.
Finally, you should not swim while it is raining or after. Because the sea becomes cloudy.
