Please note that this list does not include Australian abalone divers, who, according to the authors, "...are in a line of work in which they almost expect to be attacked; to have included their experiences would have been like including racing-car accidents in a list of highway autmobile accidents."

Also, all attacks listed in Bodega Bay occured in the vicinity of the Bay, not in it.
