Shark Attacks

A swimmer on a Sydney beach in Australia has died after being attacked by what witnesses described as a 15-foot great white shark

Officials say shark attacks increased around the world in 2021 following three consecutive years of decline, though beach closures in 2020 caused by the COVID-19 pandemic could be making the numbers seem more dramatic than they are

Unprovoked shark attacks around the world decreased last year, although they rose in the United States, according to researchers.
