Wow, I had no idea the seal population was so high now, and the damage to fishing and the eco-system. Thanks for the information.
The Cape was a wonderful place to grow up...I’m so fortunate. Today, I wouldn’t even go for vacation - the changes break my heart.
The seals have spread around Provincetown into Mass. Bay and the white sharks have increased in the Mass. Bay area.
People who surf fish down the Cape have learned , when the seals are present, and they hookup on a striper or bluefish , not to put a bend in the fishing rod as some of the seals have made the association with seeing a bent rod to a fish being brought in, and the seals will swim over and attack the fish. - Tom
