Attaques de requins en Floride

Aucun endroit au monde n'enregistre plus de morsures de requins que la Floride. La base de données SharkSider recense 1 202 incidents pour cet État, plus que les États américains suivants réunis et plus que l'histoire entière de la plupart des pays, et pourtant seuls 53 furent mortels, et aucune des 119 entrées consignées depuis 2020 n'a tué personne. Chaque ligne indique la plage et le comté où l'incident a eu lieu, et un seul comté, Volusia, en concentre 353. Le registre est majoritairement celui de surfeurs et de baigneurs mordus au pied ou à la main par de petits requins dans le ressac trouble de l'Atlantique, traversé d'un mince fil de cas graves impliquant le requin-bouledogue et le requin-tigre. Cette page parcourt l'ensemble du dossier, actualisé chaque semaine, et explique ce qu'il dit, et ne dit pas, sur la baignade en Floride.

Bull Shark Facts
En bref

La Floride compte 1 202 incidents avec des requins recensés dans la base de données SharkSider, de 1780 à 2026, dont 53 mortels. Le rythme est moderne: 703 entrées datent de 2000 à aujourd'hui, avec seulement 5 décès parmi elles, et la décennie la plus chargée du dossier est celle des années 2000 avec 311 incidents. Le dernier cas mortel est un kitesurfeur à Stuart, dans le comté de Martin, en février 2010; avant cela, un baigneur muni d'un bodyboard tué par un requin-bouledogue de près de deux mètres à Destin en juin 2005.

Le surf et les sports de planche représentent 523 entrées, la nage et le pataugeage 328, la plongée et la chasse sous-marine 93, et la pêche et les bateaux 83. Lorsqu'une espèce est identifiée, le requin-bouledogue arrive en tête avec 51 entrées, suivi du requin-nourrice (39), du requin à pointes noires (30), du requin citron (18), du requin tisserand (18), et 17 cas que le dossier n'a pu que qualifier de «pointes noires ou tisserand». Le comté de Volusia concentre 353 lignes et New Smyrna Beach à elle seule 208 d'entre elles. Septembre, juillet et août sont les mois les plus actifs. La plupart des blessures sont des morsures uniques au pied, à la cheville ou à la main qui guérissent sans séquelles.

Pourquoi la Floride est en tête du monde pour les morsures de requins, pas pour les décès

Les chiffres de la Floride relèvent de l'arithmétique, pas de requins anormalement agressifs. L'État compte 2 170 km de littoral, une eau assez chaude pour la baignade onze mois par an, et une population de 22 millions d'habitants complétée par bien plus de 100 millions de visiteurs annuels. Côté Atlantique, les plages de surf de Jacksonville à Palm Beach bordent des passes qui font entrer et sortir des poissons-appâts à chaque marée, et chaque printemps et chaque automne, d'énormes bancs de requins à pointes noires et de requins tisserands migrent le long de cette côte à quelques centaines de mètres du sable. Mettez des dizaines de milliers de surfeurs et de baigneurs dans une eau trouble jusqu'aux genoux, pleine de mulets et de menhadens, et un requin qui chasse en fonçant sur des éclats argentés finira parfois par refermer ses mâchoires sur un pied plutôt que sur un poisson.

Ce mécanisme explique la forme de tout le registre. Les entrées augmentent avec la fréquentation des plages, passant de 38 dans les années 1950 à 73 dans les années 1960, 108 dans les années 1980, 152 dans les années 1990 et 311 dans les années 2000, tandis que les décès restent stables à trois ou quatre par décennie avant de retomber à un seul dans les années 2010 et aucun jusqu'ici dans les années 2020. Les espèces qui mordent mesurent surtout entre un et deux mètres, mordent une fois et repartent. Les exceptions, le requin-bouledogue et le requin-tigre, sont responsables de presque tous les cas graves, et apparaissent dans un contexte différent: des nageurs en eau plus profonde, des plongeurs, et des personnes retrouvées à la mer après un accident de bateau ou d'avion. Comparé au registre de l'Australie ou de l'Afrique du Sud, où les grands requins blancs rendent une bien plus grande part des morsures mortelles, le dossier de la Floride est long, superficiel et rarement mortel.

Où se produisent les morsures en Floride, comté par comté

Chaque ligne du dossier de l'État indique la plage et le comté où l'incident a eu lieu, si bien que les chiffres ci-dessous proviennent directement du tableau et non d'une carte d'habitat. La côte est, de Jacksonville à Miami, concentre presque tout, et en son sein, un comté se démarque. Les comtés sont listés avec leurs totaux, leurs décès et l'année de leur entrée la plus récente.

  • Comté de Volusia: New Smyrna Beach, Ponce Inlet et Daytona Beach (353 entrées, 2 mortelles)Le comté à morsures de requins le plus actif de la planète. New Smyrna Beach à elle seule totalise 208 lignes, aucune mortelle, les deux plus récentes deux surfeurs mordus au pied et au bras en juillet 2025; Ponce Inlet en ajoute 41, Daytona Beach 35 et Ormond Beach 12. La passe fait circuler les poissons-appâts entre Daytona et New Smyrna, la vague de surf près de la jetée est l'une des plus fréquentées de l'État, et l'eau reste en permanence trouble à cause des sédiments du fleuve, si bien que les pointes noires et les tisserands mordent les pieds et les mains des surfeurs semaine après semaine en été. Les deux décès sont anciens et inhabituels: un canoéiste à Mosquito Inlet avant 1902, et un marin d'un catamaran chaviré au large d'Ormond Beach qui a tenté de rejoindre la côte à la nage le lendemain matin en août 1981. La ligne la plus récente de Volusia, et la plus récente de tout l'État, est un baigneur mordu à la cheville et au pied gauches par un requin d'un peu plus d'un mètre à Daytona Beach Shores le 25 juillet 2026.
  • Comté de Brevard: Cocoa Beach, Melbourne Beach et Playalinda (122 entrées, 1 mortelle, la plus récente en 2024)Le tronçon suivant au sud partage les ingrédients de Volusia: des passes, des écoles de surf, et la migration des pointes noires et des tisserands passant près de la côte au printemps et à l'automne. Cocoa Beach compte 33 lignes (la plus récente en 2023), Melbourne Beach 21 et Playalinda Beach 11, et les surfeurs représentent les deux tiers du dossier du comté. Le seul décès est celui d'une personne debout dans l'eau à Melbourne en juin 1934. L'entrée la plus récente est un surfeur mordu au bras gauche par un requin-bouledogue de près de deux mètres en octobre 2024, l'une des rares lignes de requin-bouledogue sur cette côte.
  • La Treasure Coast: comtés d'Indian River, St. Lucie et Martin (99 entrées à eux trois)Vero Beach, Fort Pierce, Hutchinson Island et Jensen Beach poursuivent le schéma des morsures de surf en nombres plus modestes. Le comté d'Indian River compte 26 lignes, dont le décès en novembre 1998 d'un baigneur à Vero Beach attribué à un requin-tigre; le comté de St. Lucie compte 29 lignes et aucun décès, la plus récente une personne mordue à plusieurs reprises par un requin-bouledogue d'un peu plus d'un mètre à Fort Pierce en mai 2023; le comté de Martin compte 44 lignes, avec Jensen Beach comme lieu le plus actif avec 14, et détient le décès le plus récent de l'État, le kitesurfeur tué au large de Stuart le 3 février 2010. La ligne la plus récente de Martin est un surfeur avec les deux pieds mordus à Bathtub Beach en octobre 2024 par ce que le dossier qualifie de requin-bouledogue ou requin-tigre de deux à deux mètres et demi.
  • Comté de Palm Beach: Juno Beach, Singer Island, Jupiter et Riviera Beach (110 entrées, 1 mortelle, la plus récente en 2023)Le cœur de la migration annuelle des pointes noires, quand des dizaines de milliers de requins se rassemblent à vue de la plage à la fin de l'hiver et au début du printemps; avril est le cinquième mois le plus actif du dossier de l'État, avec 120 entrées. Juno Beach et Singer Island comptent 12 lignes chacune et Riviera Beach neuf. Ce comté fournit aussi la majorité des entrées de plongée de l'État: plongeurs à la dérive et chasseurs sous-marins sur les récifs au large de Jupiter, où en juillet 2025 un plongeur à Jupiter Inlet a subi des lacérations à l'avant-bras d'un requin citron. Le seul décès est un corps échoué à Boca Raton en octobre 1961, présumé être une attaque de requin.
  • Broward et Miami-Dade: Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Miami Beach et Haulover (39 entrées, 3 mortelles)Une eau plus claire et un plateau plus étroit signifient moins de morsures de surf et une part plus élevée de cas inhabituels. Les 22 lignes de Broward incluent quatre requins-marteaux et un décès, un plongeur d'épave à un peu plus de trois kilomètres au large de Pompano Beach en septembre 2001, dont le cas est signalé comme une possible noyade avec charognage. Les 17 lignes de Miami-Dade concernent surtout des baigneurs, le requin-bouledogue étant l'espèce le plus souvent citée: un baigneur à Haulover Beach en juillet 2017 a eu les deux jambes mordues par un requin-bouledogue d'un mètre cinquante, et un employé manipulant un requin-bouledogue dans le canal à requins du Miami Seaquarium en août 1957 a eu les jambes mordues lors d'un incident provoqué. Les deux décès du comté sont un baigneur à Miami Beach en avril 1933 et un cas de noyade ou de charognage à Soldier Key vers 1915.
  • Comté de Monroe et les Keys de Floride (65 entrées, 4 mortelles, la plus récente en 2025)Des plongeurs de langoustes, des chasseurs sous-marins, des plongeurs en tuba et des pêcheurs de bancs plutôt que des surfeurs. Le requin-nourrice est l'espèce le plus souvent citée ici, généralement après avoir été saisi ou accroché, suivi du requin-bouledogue; Marathon, Key West et Key Largo sont les endroits les plus actifs, et 17 des lignes du comté datent de 2020 ou après. Les quatre décès s'étendent de 1857 à Cape Sable, 1908 à Marathon (participation d'un requin non confirmée), 1958 à Key West, et septembre 1995, quand un plongeur en scaphandre à Alligator Reef, au large d'Islamorada, a disparu et a été présumé emporté par un requin-bouledogue de trois à quatre mètres. Les entrées les plus récentes sont un plongeur en tuba mordu à la jambe à Horseshoe Reef, au large de Key Largo, le 1er septembre 2025, et une personne blessée à la main et au bras à Flamingo, dans le parc national des Everglades, en avril 2025.
  • Le nord-est: comtés de Duval, St. Johns et Nassau (75 entrées, 5 mortelles)Jacksonville, St. Augustine et Amelia Island connaissent bien moins de morsures que Volusia mais le même contexte: des surfeurs et des baigneurs dans une eau trouble près des passes. Le comté de Duval compte 46 lignes, dont 13 à Jacksonville Beach, et deux décès le même jour, le 12 septembre 1976, tous deux des baigneurs à Jacksonville. Le comté de St. Johns compte 19 lignes et aucun décès, le plus récent un surfeur mordu à la plante du pied à St. Augustine Beach en août 2020. Les dix lignes du comté de Nassau incluent trois décès, tous antérieurs à 1963: une personne tombée par-dessus bord près de Fernandina Bar en 1853, un baigneur à Fernandina en 1889, et un aviateur porté disparu après s'être éjecté d'un avion à réaction au large de Fernandina Beach en 1962, participation d'un requin non confirmée.
  • La côte du Golfe et le Panhandle: Tampa Bay, Boca Grande, Panama City, Destin et PensacolaPlus chaude, plus calme et plus claire que l'Atlantique, avec bien moins de surfeurs, si bien que la côte ouest ne produit qu'une petite fraction des entrées de l'État, mais une part plus élevée de cas graves parce que le requin-bouledogue est le suspect habituel. Le comté de Pinellas compte 16 lignes et deux décès dans la Boca Ciega Bay, une baigneuse en 1936 et un homme qui a sauté à l'eau en août 2000 et aurait été emporté par un requin-bouledogue de près de trois mètres; le comté de Lee compte 16 lignes, Sarasota 12 et Manatee 10, ce dernier incluant le décès par noyade de 1981 à Tampa Bay attribué à un requin-tigre ou à un requin-marteau. Boca Grande a produit deux lignes en 2025, une plongeuse en tuba dont la main droite a été presque arrachée par un requin-bouledogue en juin, et un pêcheur avec une lacération à la jambe causée par un requin citron de près de deux mètres à Cayo Costa en août. Dans le Panhandle, les 18 lignes du comté d'Escambia incluent neuf décès, tous survenus dans la baie de Pensacola entre 1780 et 1911; le comté de Bay compte 11 lignes et deux décès à Panama City, un chasseur sous-marin en 1959 et un plongeur en tuba tué par un requin-bouledogue de trois mètres à Shell Island en 1988; le comté de Walton détient le décès de Destin de 2005 et deux morsures graves de requin-bouledogue le même jour, le 7 juin 2024, à Rosemary Beach et Water Sound Beach. Trois des quatre lignes de 2026 se situent sur cette côte: un pêcheur mordu à la jambe par un requin-bouledogue à Fort Pickens le 5 juin, un baigneur mordu aux deux bras par un requin-bouledogue de près de deux mètres et demi à Panama City le 8 juin, et un baigneur légèrement mordu à la cheville près d'Indian Pass le 13 juin. Notre guide sur les requins du golfe du Mexique couvre cette côte en détail.

Comment lire un dossier de cette taille. Premièrement, toutes les lignes ne sont pas une morsure: 52 entrées ne signalent aucune blessure, allant de requins heurtant des bateaux et mordant des moteurs de traîne à un requin tisserand bondissant près d'une planche à rame, et 69 portent une mention comme «invalide», «douteux» ou «participation d'un requin avant le décès non confirmée», parmi lesquelles la perte d'un pétrolier de soufre au large de Key West en 1963, dont on n'a récupéré que des gilets de sauvetage mordus par des requins. Deuxièmement, environ 100 lignes sont marquées comme provoquées, c'est-à-dire que la personne pêchait, harponnait, marquait, saisissait ou décrochait le requin au moment de la morsure; 27 des 39 entrées de requin-nourrice appartiennent à ce groupe. Troisièmement, les 53 lignes mortelles incluent une série de catastrophes maritimes où des requins ont atteint des personnes déjà à l'eau: le dirigeable K-74 de la marine américaine abattu par un sous-marin en 1943, un avion de transport C-46 qui s'est écrasé avec 62 travailleurs migrants à bord en 1950, le yacht à moteur Princess Dianne en 1974, un catamaran chaviré au large d'Ormond Beach en 1981 et un radeau de réfugiés dans le détroit de Floride en 1994. Plusieurs lignes mortelles portent une note indiquant que la participation d'un requin n'a pas été confirmée, est douteuse ou possiblement posthume plutôt qu'une attaque avérée. Enfin, la ligne la plus récente est datée du 25 juillet 2026; les années 2020 à 2026 affichent 23, 30, 24, 23, 8, 7 et 4 entrées, aucune mortelle, les années les plus récentes étant encore complétées à mesure que les signalements sont vérifiés.

Quels requins mordent en Floride

Seule la moitié environ des 1 202 lignes portent quelque chose dans la colonne espèce, et beaucoup d'entre elles ne donnent qu'une taille ou une réserve. Là où une véritable identification existe, cinq espèces dominent.

Requin-bouledogue: 51 entrées, le plus identifié et le plus dangereux. Le requin-bouledogue est cité dans le décès de juin 2005 à Destin, le décès d'août 2000 dans la Boca Ciega Bay, le décès présumé d'un plongeur en scaphandre à Alligator Reef en septembre 1995 et le décès d'un plongeur en tuba à Shell Island en septembre 1988, et est soupçonné dans des cas mortels de 1947 et 1933. Il vit dans chaque estuaire, passe et embouchure de rivière de Floride, chasse en faible visibilité, et est l'espèce derrière la plupart des morsures graves de l'État sur des baigneurs et des plongeurs, y compris les deux cas d'amputation dans le comté de Walton en juin 2024 et les deux morsures de 2026 dans le Panhandle, à Panama City et Fort Pickens. Sa part dans les cas identifiés n'a cessé de croître depuis 2000.

Requin-nourrice: 39 entrées, presque toutes auto-infligées. Un habitant du fond docile qui mord quand on le saisit, et 27 de ses entrées sont marquées comme provoquées: des plongeurs tirant la queue, des pêcheurs le décrochant, des gens posant pour des photos, la plupart dans les Keys. Le requin-nourrice serre et retient plutôt que de déchirer, si bien que les blessures sont douloureuses et impressionnantes mais jamais mortelles.

Requin à pointes noires et requin tisserand: 30 et 18 entrées, plus 17 que le dossier n'a pu distinguer. Ce sont les requins de la zone de déferlement et la raison pour laquelle le comté de Volusia est en tête du monde pour les morsures. Rapides, grégaires, mesurant un mètre cinquante à deux mètres et attirés par les poissons-appâts dans le ressac, ils confondent un pied ou une main avec une proie, mordent une fois et lâchent. Pas une seule entrée de pointes noires ou de tisserand dans le registre de Floride n'est mortelle. Les tisserands doivent leur nom à leurs attaques bondissantes et tournoyantes, et une entrée de 2016 à Jupiter rapporte un pagayeur debout renversé de sa planche quand un requin tisserand a bondi à côté de lui, sans blessure.

Requin-tigre: peu d'entrées mais une lourde part des pires cas. Les tigres sont cités dans 13 lignes et soupçonnés dans quelques autres, dont le décès de novembre 1998 d'une baigneuse à Vero Beach et le décès par noyade de septembre 1981 à Tampa Bay attribué à un tigre ou à un requin-marteau. Ils patrouillent des eaux plus profondes au large du récif et des Keys et sont le plus grand prédateur régulier de l'État après le requin-bouledogue.

Autres. Les requins citrons (18 entrées, dont deux en 2025 à Jupiter Inlet et Cayo Costa) et les requins-marteaux (12) apparaissent surtout autour des pêcheurs, des chasseurs sous-marins et des bateaux. Le grand requin blanc est un visiteur hivernal du plateau atlantique de Floride et n'apparaît que dans cinq lignes, trois rencontres avec des bateaux sans blessure, une main gravement lacérée au large de Key West en 1965, et un cas de noyade ou de charognage non daté à Soldier Key qui aurait pu impliquer un requin blanc. Notre page sur les requins de Floride décrit chaque espèce de l'État.

Ce que disent 1 202 entrées sur la sécurité en Floride

Un registre aussi profond donne des indications d'une clarté inhabituelle. Presque chaque ligne correspond à l'un des quelques scénarios, et chaque scénario a une solution.

  • Surfeurs: restez hors de l'eau quand l'appât traverse la passe. Le surf et les sports de planche représentent 523 entrées et ont produit 357 des 703 cas depuis 2000, et 248 des 353 lignes du comté de Volusia. Les morsures se concentrent près des passes, dans une eau trouble, à l'aube et au crépuscule, et en septembre, le mois le plus actif avec 185 entrées. Des oiseaux plongeant et des mulets sautant signifient que les requins se nourrissent; éloignez-vous le long de la plage ou attendez.
  • Baigneurs et personnes qui pataugent: gardez les pieds hors de l'appât. La nage et le pataugeage représentent 328 lignes. Traînez les pieds dans les hauts-fonds, évitez les bancs de sable et les chenaux, et sortez si des poissons se rassemblent en banc autour de vos jambes. Depuis 2000, 493 entrées concernent le pied, la cheville, la jambe ou la cuisse et 154 la main ou le bras; presque toutes étaient des morsures uniques.
  • Ne nagez pas seul en eau plus profonde, depuis des bateaux, ou la nuit. Les cas graves de requin-bouledogue et de requin-tigre, y compris les décès de 2000 et 2005, ont impliqué des personnes au-delà de la ligne de déferlement ou entrant dans l'eau depuis un ponton ou un bateau.
  • Plongeurs et chasseurs sous-marins: sortez rapidement de l'eau les poissons harponnés. La plongée et la chasse sous-marine représentent 93 lignes, beaucoup impliquant des requins-bouledogues disputant une prise sur les récifs de Palm Beach et dans les Keys. Ne transportez pas de poissons sur une ligne et ne nagez pas avec eux jusqu'au bateau.
  • Laissez les requins tranquilles. Environ 100 lignes sont provoquées: saisir un requin-nourrice, décrocher un pointe noire, marquer, capturer au filet. Coupez la ligne plutôt que de manipuler l'animal.
  • Respectez les drapeaux des sauveteurs. Les plages de Floride hissent des drapeaux violets pour la faune marine dangereuse et ferment l'eau quand des bancs de pointes noires arrivent; les respecter élimine une grande part du risque.

Si un requin mord, le résultat dépend des minutes qui suivent: arrêtez le saignement par pression ou avec un garrot, rejoignez le sable et appelez à l'aide. Notre guide sur comment survivre à une attaque de requin couvre toute la séquence, de l'évitement aux premiers secours.

La Floride face au reste des États-Unis et du monde

L'International Shark Attack File confirme entre 60 et 80 morsures non provoquées dans le monde lors d'une année type, et la Floride à elle seule en fournit un cinquième à un tiers, plus qu'aucun pays hormis les États-Unis eux-mêmes. Et pourtant son taux de mortalité figure parmi les plus bas de tout lieu disposant d'un registre substantiel: 53 décès sur 1 202 entrées, et 5 sur les 703 entrées depuis 2000, contre une moyenne mondiale d'environ un décès pour dix morsures. Le reste de la côte atlantique des États-Unis est une copie réduite de la Floride, avec la Caroline du Sud et la Caroline du Nord enregistrant les mêmes morsures de surf par des pointes noires en nombres plus modestes, et la Géorgie encore moins. Hawaï et la Californie enregistrent bien moins d'incidents mais une part plus élevée de cas graves, car leurs requins sont des tigres et des grands blancs. De l'autre côté du Golfe, le Texas et le Mississippi partagent les requins-bouledogues de la Floride avec une fraction de son trafic de plage. Les vingt États que nous suivons sont comparés sur la page vue d'ensemble des États-Unis.

Registres voisins et les requins de Floride

Au nord le long de l'Atlantique, la Géorgie, la Caroline du Sud et la Caroline du Nord prolongent la même côte à pointes noires; à l'ouest le long du Golfe, le Mississippi et le Texas partagent les baies à requins-bouledogues. De l'autre côté de l'eau, les Bahamas et Cuba détiennent les registres de requin-tigre et de requin de récif du détroit de Floride. Les espèces elles-mêmes sont décrites sur notre page requins de Floride, et tous les pays que nous suivons sont répertoriés sur le hub des attaques de requins.

Questions fréquentes

Combien y a-t-il eu d'attaques de requins en Floride ?

La base de données SharkSider recense 1 202 incidents avec des requins en Floride de 1780 à 2026, dont 53 mortels. Depuis 2000, il y a eu 703 entrées et 5 décès. Les années 2000 furent la décennie la plus active avec 311 incidents, suivies des années 2010 avec 270; les années 2020 comptent 119 entrées jusqu'à présent, aucune mortelle.

Quand a eu lieu la dernière attaque de requin mortelle en Floride ?

L'entrée mortelle la plus récente date du 3 février 2010, un kitesurfeur au large de Stuart, dans le comté de Martin. Avant cela, un baigneur muni d'un bodyboard fut tué par un requin-bouledogue de près de deux mètres à Destin le 25 juin 2005. Deux autres lignes mortelles postérieures à 2000, de 2001 et 2003, sont enregistrées comme douteuses ou comme possible noyade suivie de charognage.

Quand a eu lieu la dernière attaque de requin en Floride ?

La ligne la plus récente date du 25 juillet 2026: un baigneur mordu à la cheville et au pied gauches par un requin d'un peu plus d'un mètre à Daytona Beach Shores, dans le comté de Volusia. Juin 2026 a ajouté trois morsures sur la côte du Golfe, à Fort Pickens, Panama City et Indian Pass, deux d'entre elles par des requins-bouledogues. Tous ont survécu. La base de données est mise à jour chaque semaine à mesure que de nouveaux incidents sont vérifiés.

Quel requin attaque le plus de personnes en Floride ?

Le requin-bouledogue est l'espèce la plus fréquemment identifiée, citée dans 51 entrées, et il est à l'origine de la plupart des cas graves. Les pointes noires (30 entrées), les tisserands (18) et 17 lignes enregistrées comme pointes noires ou tisserand ensemble représentent la majorité des morsures en zone de déferlement, aucune mortelle. Les requins-nourrices apparaissent dans 39 lignes, dont 27 provoquées.

Est-il sûr de nager en Floride ?

Oui, selon toute lecture raisonnable des chiffres. Des dizaines de millions de personnes nagent en Floride chaque année, et le dossier compte en moyenne quelques dizaines de morsures par an, presque toutes mineures et aucune mortelle depuis février 2010. Le risque se concentre sur les surfeurs près des passes en eau trouble, à la fin de l'été et au début de l'automne, et sur les personnes entrant seules en eau profonde ou depuis des bateaux.

Où se produisent la plupart des attaques de requins en Floride ?

Dans le comté de Volusia, avec 353 lignes dans le dossier, plus que tout autre comté au monde: New Smyrna Beach à elle seule compte 208 entrées, Ponce Inlet 41 et Daytona Beach 35, aucune mortelle. Suit le comté de Brevard avec 122 lignes, le comté de Palm Beach avec 110 et le comté de Monroe, les Keys, avec 65. La côte du Golfe et le Panhandle contribuent pour bien moins de cas.

Quel mois compte le plus d'attaques de requins en Floride ?

Septembre est le mois le plus actif du dossier avec 185 entrées, suivi de juillet avec 160 et août avec 146. Juin en compte 128, avril 120 et octobre 113. Les mois les plus calmes sont décembre, janvier et février. Le schéma suit la fréquentation des plages, l'eau chaude et les migrations de poissons-appâts qui amènent les pointes noires et les tisserands dans le ressac.

Y a-t-il des grands requins blancs en Floride ?

Les grands requins blancs visitent le plateau atlantique de la Floride en hiver, mais n'apparaissent que dans cinq lignes du registre de l'État: trois rencontres avec des bateaux sans blessure en 1964, 2015 et 2021, une main gravement lacérée au large de Key West en 1965, et un cas de noyade non daté où un requin blanc était une possibilité. Aucun décès confirmé causé par un requin blanc n'est enregistré en Floride.

Les surfeurs sont-ils plus mordus par les requins que les baigneurs en Floride ?

Oui. Le surf et les sports de planche représentent 523 des 1 202 entrées et 357 des 703 depuis 2000, contre 328 pour la nage et le pataugeage. Les surfeurs passent des heures sur la ligne de déferlement près des passes où circule l'appât, exactement là où se nourrissent les pointes noires et les tisserands. Leurs morsures sont presque toujours mineures et aucune n'a été mortelle.

Combien d'attaques de requins en Floride ont-elles été provoquées ?

Environ 100 lignes du dossier portent l'étiquette provoquée, c'est-à-dire que la personne pêchait, harponnait, marquait, décrochait ou saisissait le requin au moment de la morsure. Les requins-nourrices dominent ce groupe avec 27 entrées provoquées sur 39. 52 lignes supplémentaires ne signalent aucune blessure et 69 sont marquées invalides, douteuses ou non confirmées.
