Shark researchers weren't blaming a British man for being killed by a great white shark off Australia's coast last year when they classified the attack as "provoked," the head of a Florida-based shark research group said recently. Simon Nellist was killed when a great white attacked him in the waters near Sydney in February 2022. A member of Australia's Parliament said at the time that Nellist, a diving instructor, swam in the area nearly every day, according to BBC News. The International Shark Attack Files, a University of Florida group that aims to compile all known shark attacks, classified the attack as "provoked." But that doesn't mean Nellist was responsible for his death, according to Gavin Naylor, director of the Florida Program for Shark Research at the Florida Museum of Natural History. In a blog post this week, Naylor explained why the group classifies shark attacks at all. "Our criteria for classifying shark attacks are designed to filter the data collected so that we can better understand the natural behavior of the animals," Naylor said. "Any activity that draws sharks into an area where they otherwise would not be, are excluded." www.yahoo.com/news/why-fatal-shark-attack-australia-211656193.html

Last time I checked I don't remember reading about a shark walking onto a beach and chewing on a human so in my eyes all shark attacks are "provoked" and I swim in the ocean almost every single day and night...
There is no such thing as a "unprovoked" shark attack humans are simply to ignorant to realize that...It's their world not humans...Humans are incapable of living harmoniously with nature...

Any bodily fluid released into the water is likely detectable by sharks.
A shark’s sense of smell is powerful – it allows them to find prey from hundreds of yards away. Menstrual blood in the water could be detected by a shark, just like any urine or other bodily fluids. However, there is no positive evidence that menstruation is a factor in shark bites. Additionally, evidence suggests when swimming the water pressure will temporarily stop the flow of menstrual blood decreasing the chances any blood is released into the water.https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/shark-attacks/reduce-risk/menstruation/
well, that's a relief..
