A lot of people are not surfing and those who enter the ocean are staying in shallow water.
There is good film footage of the shark tagging at the URL. - Tom
Still none here in Kentucky, but I’ll keep checking.
So, there’s more sharks, but they are a kinder, gentler shark?
In Kentucky you only have to worry about a proliferation of bears. -Tom
My GUESS is that the Cape Cod area now has BOTH “year round resident” Great Whites AND “transitory” Great Whites, that come to New England waters at certain times to FEED on marine mammals & perhaps TO BIRTH PUPS somewhere nearby.
In my opinion, UNTIL/UNLESS the swimming beaches are “fenced off” to separate the swimmers from the sharks AND/OR limited hunting (”on license”) is allowed for Great Whites AND for seals, that the current dangerous situation for the swimmers/surfers is PERMANENT.
Further south, for example on The Outer Banks & other coastal areas of NC (where our family has an Atlantic shore beach-house), we only have “visiting” Great whites, I suspect because the water is too warm for the Whites much of the year.
(Also, there are FEW marine mammals on the southern Atlantic coast for the Whites to prey upon.)

There can only be one reason for this...
CLIMATE CHANGE!
I watched a show where in California a killer whale killed a large grest white shark and ate its liver and every great white shark in that area swam far, far, away. If that was true, then they just need to take one great white, kill it, and then chum the water with its body and the problem is solved.
Stories like this they don’t say but they are saying OMG GLOBAL WARMING ,LOL
Like GW’s conservatism :)
The apex predator — named Unama’ki — was raised alive and kicking from the water on a platform and painstakingly measured at 15 feet and 5 inches long and 2,076 pounds.
If sharks are congregating near Cape Cod it must mean that the cod stocks are returning.
Seal population expanding.
True. Guess those “baby seals” are getting to be all growed up. If not men with clubs then great whites with huge teeth.

I don’t suppose in Kentucky when a bear shows up at recreational playground, they tell everyone “well, you’re in his home don’tcha know...”
The sharks will leave if the food source is gone. There must be seals in the area for the sharks to eat. They probably don’t like the taste of rancid liberals which is probably the reason they didn’t eat any people this year.
I would think it was the presence of the orcas. They should import few to the east coast :-)
Man as a natural predator is gone and the numbers are growing.
Get a boat named ORCA and go fishing for The Great White, like in the movies.
