do what they did with the gulls ...

Why doesn't the town do what they did to the seagulls that were nesting on Monomoy several years back to make room for the terns ... I read in the Globe that seagulls were dropping out of the sky dead all over the place ... at least that is what I remembered ... seems like there is not enough food around to support this crowd ...

What about predators

What about all the sharks?

Wow. Is the air force still flying out of Otis? If so, it seems a shame to make them fly all the way to Nomans when that's available closer to home for a strafing run.

If you look closely I think one is laying on a plovers nest...Mayube we should make a call to the bird lovers as they will be able to get rid of the seals.

so are you gonna get your captains license soon and put the ol seacrapper into biz and compete with the other seal watches?
those pictures are disturbing
Lurch, I think you are right, one of them squashed some plovers, better get on that quick.

in a few more years we won't have to worry, because all their food will have been eaten and they will leave seeking out new places, then it will be other's problem. I wonder what will happen when they start showing up in Edgartown harbor and start lounging around on the boats and sink them like the seals are doing in California?

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

They've been off Wasque for years. There's a little "no name" island out in the shoals that used to be covered with them. From shore--looked like rocks. With glasses---seal city.

The scary thing is thats a fraction of what we have in Chatham. They are EVERYWHERE!!!

Monomoy point: yup
Inside the Southway: Yup
Outside the Southway: Yup
Pleasant Bay: Yup
All along south monomoy: Yup

We're not talking about a couple harbor seals, we're talking each group with a mimimum size of 50 seals and some way way larger. I don't know why the sharks haven't come to our all you can eat buffet...

BTW does anyone know if the bass fishing still sucks in chatham or has it picked back up yet? I haven't been out in 2 weeks due to having way to much going on. I want to get out this weekend though.

Capesams..... how recent are these photos?

I did a date/seal watch in 99? Guy said about 1500 in a breeding colony then....now I`ve heard estimates to 10,000 seals Grey and Harbor...



We need that scientist from Jurrassic Park to clone a 30 pack of giant Megalodon Sharks to clean up these seals. They are definitely out of control and strongly off setting natures balance.

Good health and family

I think we need to start an Ethnical Diversity program and try and bring up the Eskimo Population in Mass....they'd take care of them.

Why not suggest that they move the M.V. monster shark tournament to Chatham. What we need is more shark chum dropped in those waters.
