"They aren't animals that are after us, if they were, there would be attacks every day. If they see a seal, a fish or some of the other prey that's a different story but humans are not on their menu." In my region (Cape Cod) we've seen an explosion in the seal population, which has attracted a large number of great white sharks. Two attacks last year, one fatal and the other could have also easily been (victim barely survived). Seals swim just a few feet off of the very popular beaches here - it's only a matter of time until the next attack. Locals and tourists still have the mindset of "attacks are rare, driving is more dangerous!" - but I'm not optimistic that the frequency will continue to be so low.
