According to a map on a National Geographic article by Kelsey Nowakowski, Florida has been the most common place for attacks with 176 in Volusia County since 2000. Then there are states like Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Virginia, Delaware, Oregon, and Washington with just one attack (Nowakowski). Florida is clearly a major place, because of the number of beach goers that means there will be more sharks as well. However, there are many ways to avoid a shark attack. For example: do not swim late at night or don’t swim in water with an open wound, because the blood attracts sharks. There are lots of don’t do’s, but some of the do’s include doing what you can to get away (Collins). If we can take the things we read about and learn on sharks and tips of what to do in these situations, we could make for less
