As we prepare for the Shark Tales webinar - I wanted to work with some of the data sources, such as the Global Shark Attack File.  Here's a SAS Visual Analytics infographic that I put together for the event.

 

(Thanks Falko Schulz, Travis Murphy, and Robert Allison for the inspiration and editing.)

Very impressive work! Well done. So I guess what you are saying is - don't swim in Florida waters then! Smiley Happy

Love this visual, Tricia! It's not only eye candy but also informative! #RespectTheirHome

Nicely designed infographic! The webinar sounds like it will be a dataviz treat...

Very cool! 
Did you create it with out of the box tools in VA, or external via datadriven content? 

Thanks for the interesting infographic. Unfortunately, the link to your webinar does not open. Can you check it out? Interesting data on injuries. Do you also have data on shark types?

Hi @frobi, The webinar link in the article is working for me. Maybe it's a browser issue? I'm on Chrome. 

Great looking infographic! Interesting facts about shark attacks.

Here's some answers:

thanks Tricia! this is a great example of using SAS Visual Analytics for infographics and dashboards. It shows how flexible SAS VA is to tell data stories. 

thanks, @MichelleHomes for providing this link and kudos to@TriciaAanderud 

Hi @AnnaBrown! I am still getting 503 error. Although I tried several browsers. Maybe it's because of the shorter. But in any case, I liked this infographic, it is informative. 

Hi @TriciaAanderud ! Yeah, right. Smiley Happy Sounds logical. I can’t stop looking at the infographics. Every time I see something new. For example, it’s interesting that the number of incidents is growing because the Internet makes data collection easier. As it is written with you. However, as you that in addition to the upward trend, there are some cyclical. For example now there is a recession. Have you ever thought what is the reason? And does it have predictive value?

@frobi, when you say cyclical trend it sounds vaguely of politicking (sic!) or were you referring to the recession of the sharks along the southern banks of the Atlantic-Florida Ocean line? Please elaborate or, if you'd prefer to dialogue, we can text-message over the SAS messaging platform. Right? @MichelleHomes @PaulHomes 

@ccaulkins912 I meant that not only the average value is growing, but also there are harmonic oscillations. In other words, max and mins follow each other. Moreover, the oscillation period is about 6 years. Just I noticed.

@frobi, now that is more interesting-6year cycle is definitely something to note.
