Why America’s beaches are the most unsafe in the world

Warning! Shark Attacks On The Rise!

WithI summer in full swing, Americans are increasingly terrified of going into the water — and experts tell GLOBE their fears are justified!

In a blockbuster special investigation, GLOBE reveals scientists expect the number of deadly attacks to increase this season and detail the shocking reason no swimmer is safe in the waters on the Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific coasts.

Gavin Naylor, director of shark research at the Florida Museum of Natural History, boldly forecasts the next attack will be in the Carolinas, states that record up to 14 shark bites a year.

“It’s a good habitat for the sharks and it’s a place where people like to go in the summer.

“My prediction is that the next bite will be in Hilton Head [S.C.]. The dads go out to play golf and the moms take the kids to the beach,” explains Naylor.

“That’s when it happens.”
