I'm sure there are some whites around by me, but probably not many and definitely not their hunting ground. All fall I saw ONE seal for 4 days straight then he was gone.... no food no resident sharks...

if you are that concerned about your kids why not keep to the shallow flats and tell your kids not to go to deep. If you see seals get the hell out he water...

or go swim in one of the hundreds of freshwater ponds.
My three boys want to spend all day riding waves. I'm looking for a safe(r) place to do that.

And again, I saw that biologist say that they are seeing a change in behavior, that tagged sharks are spending more time in close to shore.
