Shark attacks are usually rare but their in recently years has been put down to one major factor --us .
Scientists believe that humans are directly to blame for man-eating sharks taking a great interest in our bodies lately . Researchers at Bond University in Queensland , Australia , believe that human interference with their habitat --like scuba diving and coastal development ---is the reason .

Dr Blake Chapman and Dr Daryl McPhee , who conducted the study , said : Coastal development and infrastructure can have major environmental implications on the distribution of sharks , and this can flow on to the number of unprovoked shark bites .Citing the construction of a new port in Recife , Brazil , the scientists believe the sharp rise in the number of sharks attacking people is down to the destruction of their habitat and forcing them closer to humans .
The researchers added : Unprovoked shark bite was virtually unheard of in Recife prior to the construction and operation of the Suape Port . 揌owever , due to environmental changes displacing local shark species and the presence of increased shipping activity , Recife is now renowned for having one of the highest rates of shark bites per unit area in the world .
Most attacks on humans are carried out by great white shark , bull sharks and tiger sharks , with 84% of bites taking place in just six countries or territories , including the US , South Africa ,Australia ,Brazil ,the Bahamas and Reunion.
