**“It allows us to get direct observations of what these sharks are doing when they’re in shallow water, and we can also see what their prey are doing,” said shark scientist Greg Skomal with Massachusetts Marine Fisheries.**

Most white shark attacks on seals seem to come from below, where the shark can get under the seal unnoticed and attack vertically.

A lot of the seals being attacked are in shallow water on Cape Cod and the shark has to use a different strategy to make a horizontal attack, since the water may only be waist deep.-Tom
