I don't live in Maine, but my personal opinion is the Maine Department of Marine Resources is on the ball, and immediately contacted the right people immediately after that fatal attack last year.

IMHO a big factor in the small number of white shark attacks in New England is, our ocean waters are cold, and the time spent in the water is minimal, compared to the warmer waters south of us. It certainly now isn't from a lack of white sharks.

Whenever Maine pulls those hydrophones, they will be surprised at the high number of tagged "white sharks pings" they will record.

By the best estimates; there are about 3-4 times as many untagged white sharks compared to the tagged sharks and the untagged sharks cant ping any hydrophones.- Tom

People should not wear BLACK or DARK wetsuits or BLACK or DARK SWIMWEAR.

That makes them look like SEALS, a shark’s favorite snack!....................

In the current news cycle, shouldn’t they be employing shark censors the deplatform anyone who criticizes sharks or even talks about them?

<>The shark attack last summer, which killed Julie Dimperio Holowach, 63, of New York City, was only the third fatal shark attack in New England since 1936. There have long been seasonal sightings of large sharks on Maine’s coast, though such sightings are considered uncommon. Holowach’s death remains the first known recorded fatal shark attack in Maine.<>

Sounds like much effort over little risk.

I'm not a Mainiac, but doesn't the inshore water warm up to about 50 degrees or so by mid-summer?
