If you've been watching "Shark Week" on the Discovery channel I am sure that your so scared to go into the ocean right now a little statistical peace of mind would be good. I found this website called Mother Nature Network and it had some really cool infographics that give a visual aid for shark attack related statistics. The graph below is of "Shark attacks and fatalities around the United States in 1670-2009". If your a North Carolinian, only 35 attacks in the last 339 years should make you feel pretty good about getting in the ocean.
