We love the beach, but for many people, getting in the water provokes a moment's hesitation. Shark attacks are big news events, and although the risk of shark attack on humans is incredibly low, the fact remains that human lives are lost to sharks every year. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eShark Attacks\u003c\/i\u003e explores the tension between risk and human fear and the need to conserve sharks and protect the important ecological roles they play in our marine environments.
