Shark Attack!

On July 19th, 2011, six-year-old Lucy Mangum was bitten in the leg while she swam in 1 1/2 feet of water off the coast of North Carolina.  Here is the site with the news article: http://www.reflector.com/news/girl-describes-shark-attack-590721.

Now before we all vow off every entering the water again, do the research.  How often do shark attacks occur on humans?  Are sharks really man-eaters? What can one do to avoid such attacks?  (Be sure to include links to the sites were you got your information).  After doing this research, would you still go swimming?  Why or why not?  Once you have posted, review the postings of your classmates and respond to at least two.  This is a time for discussion (that is not the same as arguing).  Keep it civil-- not "blood in the water," so to speak. :)

Welcome!!! :D
