This is not surprising with the number of White sharks here in Mass , and the number of people in the water.

For some background see my website newenglandsharks.com for some background on sharks in this area. I will be out for an hour or so to see if I can get more info. - Tom

RIP.

There was a non-fatal in Truro just a week or so ago.

Its not the sharks fault, its the owners. people shouldn't swim around sharks without the sharks owners being around. Sharks are some of the most loyal gentlest creatures around, jelly fish bite more people than sharks. The only reason these shark attacks are reported is because they are the most popular breed of sea-life. If tunas were more popular there would be more tuna bites... You snowflakes just need to stay out of the water /s

Jimmy Carter made sea mammals untouchable by law. They overbred and attract their #1 predator. The great white.

We’re going to need a bigger boat.

Swim in a shark’s kitchen, expect to be dinner.

Here lies the body of Mary Lee; died at the age of a hundred and three. For fifteen years she kept her viginity; not a bad record for this vicinity

The inevitable result of uncontrolled harbor seal populations. They bring the sharks.

I don’t think you appreciate the gut reaction people have to these things. It’s all psychological. You yell ‘Barracuda,’ everybody says ‘Huh? What?’ You yell ‘Shark,’ we’ve got a panic on our hands.

It’s because of the seals. The whackos at Woods Hole have allowed the seal population to go unchecked.

My daughter and her friends were at this beach a month ago, and witnessed and videoed a great white attacking and eating a seal.

I used to surf these beaches all the time, no more.

The environmentalists have made it completely unsafe.

This guys blood is on their heads.

I surfed Orleans beach in the summer back when I was 15. Fog would be so thick sometimes you couldn’t see the shore from beyond the breakers.

Never gave a thought to sharks. Couldn’t pay me to do it now.

[RushCrush]

Did anyone see the video of the rescue of this poor guy, they were walking him off the beach. He was being carried by a group of people. Since he died later, I’m guessing he bled to death. If time is of the essency, why didn’t they drive a vehicle to him????
