It appears to be shark season again on Cape Cod, and just in time for Memorial Day weekend.

A whale-watching cruise out of Provincetown spotted a shark eating a seal in the Atlantic about 30 miles from Boston Harbor on Sunday, the boating group said.

Experts are calling it the area's first sighting of the year, and reminding the public that it's time to keep an eye out for sharks.

The Atlantic White Shark Conservancy, which tracks shark sightings off Massachusetts, shared the video and wrote, "As we get closer to the summer season, it is important to note that white sharks are making their way back to the Cape Cod coastline," adding that people should be "shark smart."

You don’t. In 1975 white sharks were very rare off the NE beaches. You had to go out to pelagic areas to find them, living off bycatch from fishing trawlers. After 100 years of seal protection the seals are all over and great whites come right up to the beaches cuz that’s where the seals are.
