Right after Maine had its fist fatality of a white shark killing a swimmer last summer they immediately put out some shark detection buoys and will put out more this coming summer of 2021.

It seems they now know like Massachusetts there is no shortage of white sharks around, since the Feds gave the seals and the white sharks protection.

This coming summer inNew England should be full of white shark news with all of he shark biologists congregating here. We are only a few weeks away from the first sighting or "pings" of white sharks on the hydrophones that have recently put out for the upcoming summer season. -Tom

I remember seeing a film, many, many years ago, before computers and internet, that showed a shark in a pool that had a tiny current flowing between electrodes in the water.
The shark would not cross that line.

I thought then that it would be a great shark deterrent for beaches and not be very expensive. High voltage not required, so solar panels could be attached to permanent buoys anchored into the sea floor about a hundred yards out and keep a constant current flow that the sharks would not cross, like an electrified fence for livestock................

There’s a slew of stupid environmental decisions in Califorrnia. One being saving the white sharks. There’s so many now it’s just dangerous to swim in some areas. Never had such a population of killers.

In other news regarding killed, Newsom keep the Mexican border open to drugs and killers and has opened the jails a few times.

California loves its deadly sharks.

If you wander around in a shark’s kitchen, don’t be surprised when you end up being dinner.

Well how about this. A few moments ago I was on the telephone with a shark biologist friend who IMHO knows more about the white sharks in New England than any other individual shark biologist.

We will continue our conversation at a later time as he has to have a meeting shortly with other shark biologists.

He gave me permission to tell my fellow freepers that white sharks have already been sighted in Massachusetts recently, without going into detail.
Also he told me there are also plenty of basking sharks here also. So any day now, this white shark information will surface in the news. -Tom

Heading to the ME coast next week, probably swim at the hotel. Ocean has to be cold still.
