2022 saw a total of 57 unprovoked shark bites, most of which occurred in the U.S. or Australia, according to the University of Florida's International Shark Attack File.
The U.S.'s single fatal unprovoked attack in 2022 took place when a snorkeler went missing in Keawakapu Beach in Maui, Hawaii, the report said. The report distinguishes between"unprovoked" shark bites and "provoked" attacks, which occur when humans initiate contact with a shark in any way.
"Unprovoked bites give us significantly more insight into the biology and behavior of sharks," Gavin Naylor, director of the Florida Museum of Natural History's Florida Program for Shark Research, said in a statement."Changing the environment such that sharks are drawn to the area in search of their natural food source might prompt them to bite humans when they otherwise wouldn't.
In 2022 there were an additional 32 bites that fell under the criteria of"intentionally or unintentionally provoked."
