Sharks In Maine shouldn’t be unthinkable. Now lobsters in Kansas would be unthinkable.
“Sharks In Maine shouldn’t be unthinkable. Now lobsters in Kansas would be unthinkable.”

I like the Kansas comparison.
I used a similar comparison About 20 years ago when writing about the 1916 New Jersey shark attacks.
You can read it below.-Tom
“The shark experts in 1916 should have worn dunce caps when they made public
statements about those shark attacks. They just didn’t know much about sharks.
Prior too, and after those attacks, some of the leading experts didn’t believe
sharks would make an unprovoked attack on people, or that sharks had the jaw
strength to do the damage those victims suffered. They also believed that shark
attacks would not happen in the cooler water north of Cape Hatteras.
The 1916 shark attacks were initially blamed on other sea creatures; a turtle, tuna, killer whale and swordfish, before it became painfully obvious they were in fact, shark attacks-a conclusion a Kansas farmer who never saw a shark, or the ocean, might have reached quicker than the so-called shark experts of that day. The experts of that day were just clueless.”
“They certainly have it posted clearly now”
Right now down on Cape Cod besides the white sharks the SEALS are also getting their own signs.
