The 850,000 people who live on the island of Reunion, which lies east of Madagascar, depend on the Indian Ocean that surrounds them. Many homes are near the sea. The beaches attract tourists.
But the ocean has also become a source of dread for this French island. Since 2011, sharks have attacked 16 people, killing seven of them. It's a sharp jump from previous years and has left islanders at a loss as to why.

Humans have wreaked havoc on the ocean for years and have destroyed sources of food for sharks.

Ok....so, let's kill more sharks then. Less sharks to fight over what little resources they do have.

A lot of the Florida attacks come on the east coast by Sebastian Inlet/New Smyrna.

The people of Madagascar must taste better than those along the Redneck Rivera.

You do realize that shark attacks are almost always a case of misidentification, right? Not because they're so hungry they start eating humans.
