Book excerpt: "Because of increased concerns expressed for the safety of beach goers along much of the nation's coastline. and with several shark bite incidents having occurred along South Carolina beaches earlier this year, Governor James H. Hodges tasked the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) with conducting a comprehensive review of the state's policies and procedures currently in place to deal with shark bite related incidents and emergencies. The SCDNR's Marine Resources Division (MRD) was given the assignment of compiling this report and making any pertinent recommendations based on its findings."--p. vii
