Scientists are urging the public to be vigilant after the first white shark of the year has been confirmed off the Massachusetts coast.
A dead seal was found off Martha’s Vineyard, victim of an apparent shark bite, officials said.
John Chisholm of the New England Aquarium said photos of the seal’s wound were consistent with that inflicted by a great white, according to Ken Paiva of the Fall River Reporter.
“This is just the beginning of white shark season in New England, and it serves as a good reminder to be mindful of the presence of these sharks in inshore waters,” Chisholm said. “Their numbers will continue to increase throughout the summer.”
God forgive me for having the sudden urge to put “Free Lunch” signs on the beaches of Massachusetts…….
This is the consequence of protecting the seals…
Who cares .
The water up here is too f**king cold to swim in anyway .
