Are you going to the beach for fall break? You had better watch the water if you are. Shark attacks are increasing in the U.S. according to<\/span> a study by Progress in Oceanography<\/span> and there is no one to blame besides Mother Nature. The increase in attacks is due to climate change, <\/span>according to <\/span>a study by Progress in Oceanography<\/span>. The climate change is pushing <\/span>sharks<\/span> and other marine species north towards North America.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just in the past two weeks there have been two shark attacks in the U.S. One was off of Cape Cod Beach in Massachusetts. A man named Arthur Medici of Revere, Mass. was boogie boarding when he got attacked and died later at the hospital. This was a shocker for the area as they haven\u2019t had a deadly shark attack in over 80 years. <\/span><\/p>\n

The other shark attack was a 13 year-old boy at a Southern California beach. <\/span>Lifeguard Captain Larry Giles told reporters the victim was diving for lobsters about 200 yards from the shore in water about 9 feet deep when the shark attacked.<\/span> Although his bite was not fatal, the boy was in critical condition due to extreme blood loss. <\/span>\u201cWe imagine it could be a great white shark, but we don\u2019t know for sure.\u201d Lifeguard Captain Larry Giles said to Fox News reporters.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are around 70 shark attacks on average world wide. Most attacks happen to not be fatal. According to National Geographic the U.S. averages 19 attacks a year and 1 shark fatality every two years. Meanwhile, in the coastal U.S. states alone, lightning strikes and kills more than 37 people each year. Even though shark attacks are on a rise they are still very uncommon.<\/span><\/p>\n
