Recent shark bites scary, but serious injuries remain vanishingly rare

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:24:30 GMT

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Recent shark bites in Florida and Hawaii and a suspected case in New Jersey have piqued interest in an age-old summer question for beachgoers — is it safe to go in the water?Scientists and researchers who study sharks said the overwhelming answer to that question is yes, it is safe. Potentially dangerous interactions between humans and sharks are uncommon, and serious injuries and deaths from the bites are vanishingly rare, scientists said.Nonetheless, the dramatic nature of shark bites and the stories of survivors, such as Hawaii surfer Mike Morita’s tale of fighting off a shark in April, capture the imagination. It’s a good idea to remember just how rare shark bites truly are, scientists said.HOW OFTEN DO SHARK BITES OCCUR?There have been typically around 70 to 80 unprovoked shark bites annually, worldwide, over the past decade. And not only are shark bites rare, they’ve been especially rare recently.There were only 57 unprovoked bites last...

TORONTO (AP) — The man charged with recommending how to deal with leaked intelligence reports that China interfered in Canada’s federal election said Tuesday that the leaked material is too sensitive for a public inquiry.Opposition parties have demanded a full public inquiry on the alleged Chinese interference since reports about it earlier this year by the Globe and Mail newspaper.

However, he recommended public hearings on broader issues, including on foreign influence in Canada’s political system.Trudeau appointed Johnston, a family friend and a former gov...
