Side Benefit of a Staycation
February 21st, 2009
Well here is a very interesting side benefit to taking a staycation…not being bitten by sharks.
USAtoday is reporting that researchers are reporting fewer shark bites as a result of fewer people traveling to beaches. Shark attacks are now at their lowest level within the past 5 years. Reported shark attacks fell from 71 in 2007 to only 59 in 2008. George Burgress, of the University of Florida, said, “With the price of gas high, fewer people went to the beach.”
So there you go. Another added safety benefit of taking a staycation this year!
