The International Shark Attack File

The International Shark Attack File (ISAF) is a comprehensive database maintained by the Florida Museum of Natural History that records and analyzes shark attack incidents worldwide. It collects detailed information on each event, including location, circumstances, and species involved. The ISAF helps researchers, safety officials, and the public understand patterns and risks associated with shark encounters. Its goal is to improve safety, promote understanding of shark behavior, and support conservation efforts by providing accurate, up-to-date data on shark attacks globally.
