Beaches of northern Brazil hit by shark attacks

Recife is one of Brazil's top beach resorts, but its reputation has taken a hit after a series of shark attacks, which have claimed 56 victims in 20 years. Last month, another swimmer died after being bitten by a shark. The destruction of their natural habitat means the sharks are being forced closer and closer to the shore in search of food.Duration: 02:16

WHY in Gods name would parents allow their children to swim there???

The problem started when they built the PORT OF SAUPE to the south
That area was the original habitat of the sharks. Once destroyed for the new port, the sharks had to go somewhere and went to Boa Viagem Recife

people mustn't go into the sharks territory. If you choose to swim past the warning flags, this is what can happen.
