Terrible the young man lost his life for sure. I have gone in that water before at Newcombs Hollow but these days I would never be 300 yards off the beach, not even 30 feet. Like they say, once you go in the water you are now shark food.
Seals are dying off a lot this year and that seems like a sign of over population to me. No need to have their population out of control with them destroying the local fishing like wiping out flounder etc.
Last shark mortality in Mass was 1936. I guess it was inevitable
