Jump to navigation Jump to search
The following is a list of fatal shark attacks which have taken place in Australia. The list is organised by state. It includes: attacks where the person was killed and their body recovered; attacks that were immediately fatal or almost immediately fatal; and attacks where the victim died from wounds sustained some days after the attack. Non-fatal shark attacks are not included in this list. Fatal shark attacks amount to about one quarter of shark attacks. This list does not include missing swimmers suspected to have suffered a shark attack.

The Nashville metropolitan area is centered on Nashville, Tennessee, in the United States. It includes 14 counties in Middle Tennessee.
The Office of Management and Budget defines the metro area as the Nashville-Davidson–Murfreesboro–Franklin, TN, Metropolitan Statistical Area, a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) designated for statistical use by the United States Census Bureau and other agencies. The area is the 36th largest MSA in the United States[2] and is the largest metropolitan area in the state of Tennessee. The metropolitan statistical area was first designated in 1950 and initially included only Davidson County. As surrounding counties increased in population and population densities and in the number of the number of their residents employed in Davidson County, the OMB added new counties to the MSA. Today, the metro area includes Davidson and 13 other counties.
