Karl I couldn't agree more. Apex predators are already on the rise in our waters. More and more reports from Chatham by Charterboat Captains who have seen massive sharks crusing close into the beach. Some have even witnessed attacks and some people are finding mangled half eaten seal bodies on the beach. Throw in (I think at least 2) killer whale sightings and it may make for a memorable next few years. IMO surfers and fishermen on the back beaches BEWARE. These seals are such a perfect food source for these apex predators. It has taken a few years, but with the increase of the seal population and the spanwning and birthing on Monomoy and Tuckernuck.....the dinner bell is ringing loud and clear up and down the east coast.
