The number of deadly shark attacks in 2007 has declined to only one case. A French woman swimming alone in New Caledonia was the unfortunate victim.  This number is the lowest in at least twenty years.

According to researchers from the University of Florida the low number of shark attacks. which result in fatalities, is caused by ever improving medical treatment. Though this has caused the  number of nonfatal shark attacks to increase. Around 71 nonfatal shark attacks have been reported through 2007.

During the 90’s, each year around 50 cases were reported. From 2000 until now this amount has steadily increased to an average of 65 every year.

The researchers of the International Shark Attack File see parallels between tourist behavior and increasing shark attacks. Each year more people spend time at beaches, swimming and surfing. Out of all shark attacks victims, 65% are surfers and windsurfers.
