This is another white shark article I wrote. It got published today.

We are now beyond Labor Day weekend, and recreational ocean swimming is coming to a halt. The kids will be going back to school. After Sept. 6th lifeguards are not at the Cape Cod beaches.

By the end of next month, October, most recreational boats in New England will be hauled, and most marinas will be closed.

However white sharks will be here into December, with the possibility of one or two showing up in mid winter. The shark hydrophone buoys that detect "pings" from sharks with acoustic tags will be removed in December from the ocean waters to avoid losing them in winter storms.

For those interested in white shark goings on, they will be here in New England for about 3 more months. -Tom

Good read thanks.
Me and the Dad used to hunt Swords off of Block in the 60’s. Harpoons, barrels, the old fashion way. Still have a few "Swords" hanging around from those days. Saw a few Whites out that way in the Fall

I even check my bathtub before bathing.

I’ve often wondered why shark is not eaten more often than it is.... It’s not bad tasting and it’s fairly easy to catch, aside from those pesky government regs....................

Also, when a white shark attacks a person it seems it is always portrayed as some sort of a case of mistaken identity.leaving out, of course, that a mistaken mouthing by a GWS is like accidentally being pulled into a wood chipper.

One of the best articles on the topic I’ve read. You should do a whole layout in the Annual “Best of Cape Code Life” magazine ( if I have the name correct) that is a must for all us Cape Cod summer tourists. I’m sure people would really enjoy it.

The fear of sharks, or large flesh-eating land animals, snakes, rodents, etc. is built into of the makeup of most people.

There are large, flesh-eating rodents?

Also, when a white shark attacks a person it seems it is always portrayed as some sort of a case of mistaken identity. That mistaken identity line may be true in most cases, but to me it can’t be true in all cases. Unless there is something we humans have that makes us immune from a sample bite from a hungry white shark to determine if we are edible. I don't see any indication we have that type of immunity.

Not mistaken identity, sharks don't think "Oh, that was a human, big mistake," no, in the water we are just part of the food chain.
