Most shark-infested beaches
It makes sense that the ISAF is hosted in Florida. The "Sunshine State" and one of its beaches – New Smyrna, on the central east coast –' holds the dubious honour of being the shark-attack capital of the world. But even this fact tells us something else about the relativity of shark-attack data (for example, a lot of people are in the water in Florida).

Volusia County's New Smyrna is one of those fine coastal destinations for which Florida is famous. Surrounded on all sides by water – the Atlantic Ocean, the Intracoastal Waterway, Mosquito Lagoon and Indian River – and boasting excellent subtropical weather (warm and comfortable summers plus warm and comfortable winters), the laid-back seaside community attracts a high density of visitors: surfers, anglers, swimmers and tourists.

New Smyrna's well-surfed, sub-tropical waters are also ideal for sharks – tigers, blacktips, spinners and many others. A high density of sharks and a high density of people ... you begin to understand the problem.

Conventional wisdom has it that those last two, blacktip and spinner sharks, especially youngsters, are the cause of most incidents in New Smyrna's waters. There are indeed shark-related fatalities, but most encounters are simply cases of mistaken identity (a hungry, disoriented shark nips an unwitting tourist – so many to choose from) and the results, if not minor, certainly end without loss of life.
