A general presentation about how sharks operate and why they attack when they do. 2 knowledge bits on Great Whites and Bull Sharks. Also some general information on staying safe. Location, Location, Location!

2.  The bottom line is that sharks live in the water
and we do not, it is their home, not ours. Sharks
do not necessarily hunt people, we don’t have a
good ratio of meat to bone to be on their menu
and it is also suggested that we don’t even taste
good. Unfortunately for us sharks need to be
able to take a bite in order for them to taste us,
just like we do when we eat. The sharks main
objective is to consume as much fat and protein
as possible with the least amount of effort.
Sometimes we just get in the way or are mistaken
for something else such as a seal or a turtle.
From the murky depths below we are just a
silhouette in the sea.

4.  Bull sharks are actually the most aggressive
and will attack for any reason. They grow
between 5 and 6 feet, but are plenty
equipped to take down a human. Bull sharks
are also able to convert from salt water to
brackish water, and even freshwater.

6.  Great whites are most deadly because of their
abilities to hunt and destroy their prey with
massive biting force. These sharks grow
between 16 and 20 feet long weighing up to
4,500 lbs. Their prey consists of seals,
turtles, and whales and can smell blood from
3 miles away. Great whites are an apex
predator and are required in the oceans food
chain of checks and balances. California’s
coast is the most dangerous because of the
numerous attacks by Great White Sharks.

8.  There are some factors which definitely
contribute to being attacked by any meat
eating shark.
 Loud noise and splashing
 Bright colors like yellow, white, and orange
 Rapid movement
 Since sharks can capsize small boats the only
way to be certain you will not be bitten by a
shark is to stay out of the water.
