Supercharged and highly contextualized data of shark attacks in New Caledonia
Dataset Description
Within a very short period (a few weeks) of time we had to face dramatic shark attacks in New Caledonia:
- 📰 "La Calédonie est un hot spot mondial du risque requin", selon le chercheur François Taglioni
- 📰 Nouméa : un foileur échappe à une attaque de requin
- 📺 Une femme attaquée par un #requin devant la plage du Château Royal de Nouméa
- 📺 NOUVELLE CALÉDONIE : Dossier #requin - 30/01/2023
In the mean time, I discovered that at the Réunion Island (who faced similar problems) had a dedicated website :
Finally, I discovered an amazingly detailed article A Spatial and Environmental Analysis of Shark Attacks on Reunion Island (1980-2017), from the University of La Réunion
That were the conditions for me to try to create a maintain some highly contextual datas, from 1886. up to today.
ℹ️ About the dataset
This dataset is an effort of mixing Global Shark Attack - World
This dataset is an effort for putting all publicly available data about shark attacks in New-Caledonia :
- Within a very single place,
- Enhanced with keys coming from data.gouv.nc for city codes
- Enhanced with related datas like moon phasis, season,...
- Enhanced with protection status of each shark species we have in New-Caledonia
- Season, and other metadatas
Hopefully this effort will be useful.
