#East Coast of United States#
^w^ The majority of shark encounters along the Atlantic coast of the United States occur in Florida waters in the summer and early fall.
^w^ Most attacks occur inshore of the first sand bar, and the victims' wounds are usually confined to a single bite.
^w^ Most repeated attacks occur in deeper waters when the shark circles and returns to the victim.
^w^ The most dangerous species in Southeastern United States coastal waters are the Tiger Shark and Bull Shark.
