The Red Triangle is the colloquial name of a roughly triangle-shaped region off the coast of northern California, extending from Bodega Bay, north of San Francisco, out slightly beyond the Farallon Islands, and down to the Big Sur region, south of Monterey. The area has a very large population of marine mammals, such as elephant seals, harbor seals, sea otters, and sea lions, which are favored meals of great white sharks.〔(www.pbs.org )〕 Around thirty-eight percent of recorded great white shark attacks on humans in the United States have occurred within the Red Triangle — eleven percent of the worldwide total.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=FLMNH Ichthyology Department: 1876-2010 World's Confirmed Unprovoked Attacks by White Sharks )〕 The area encompasses the beaches of the heavily populated San Francisco Bay Area, and many people enjoy surfing, windsurfing, swimming and diving in these waters.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tracking Great Whites in The Red Triangle )〕 Even with the ever increasing numbers of people entering the water, sightings and encounters with the elusive sharks are still extremely rare. ==See also==
