A lot of the beach goers now are looking for ..fins..as they are fearful of sharks and there are plenty of white sharks and seals around now during the summer season.
A line in the article that caught my attention was" and a 14-foot white shark seen by a spotter pilot off Plymouth in Cape Cod Bay."
That is on my side of the Cape and although not unusual, it means the local Mass. Bay Beaches will step up their shark warnings.
The arrival time of these Federally and State protected sharks has been very predictable.-Tom
Great white sharks are now racist....
Great Oppressor Sharks!

Many years ago I met a person who lived in New Smyrna beach and asked him why the shark bites had fallen off.
He told me a hurricane had caused a 4 foot drop to the beach and there was little swimming activity that summer.
Now the beach is back to normal and the bathers are getting more than their fair share of world record shark bites. -Tom
About forty years ago enviormentalists and animal lovers put an end to the harvesting of baby seals off the coast of New england. Gory photographs of burly white men clubbing baby seals into a bloody pulp convinced the public this hunt was “very wrong”. The result was that the seal population in the area increased dramatically. The sharks took notice and the swimmers around Martha’s Vineyard have company.
The media——”How can we distract citizens from Biden’s massive failures and spiraling out of control economy”?
The media-—”Shark attacks-—run with that again”.
Hurricanes are next.
I once read that there are more bites and deaths by bears than sharks in the world, but sharks get the better media coverage........................
There have always been Great Whites in and around the North Atlantic coast... But with the abolition of full scale seal hunts in Canada, the Harp seal population has ballooned to over 7.4+ million seals and their numbers continue to grow with each passing year... When there was a yearly hunt, the population of these seals was about 1 million or so.
So you’re a Great White shark and you’re hungry... Where are you going to go when it’s supper time? You’re going to go to where the supper is.
Simple solution. Fire up the grill.
Tom,
Do you have a link to websites that track the Great White sharks on the New England coast?
