Definite business opportunity for someone.
Instead of whale watching, you could take people shark watching. Surely people would pay to see a seal go down in person like they've witnessed on Shark Week.

Spine tingling JOY!!!
Unfortunately it is just a matter of time before the authorities start hunting the sharks because of the pressure from the "Moonbats". Seals are "cute" and Sharks are not  |

true back beach..and the boss mans response sums it up too...
more than likely it will just be fun, for some of us to watch....in our own twisted little way...
Scotty....we may have the sixth confirmed by supper time...
if there is 5, or even 6 confirmed, i'd bet there is more...
and a hundred hungry ones would be OK with me...  |

South Africa has tons of Great Whites.
Doesn't seem to bother the seals much? |

yep Ted, a hundred or a thousand won't put a dent in the seals...but, will provide some great entertainment
only thing that will eventually hurt the seals, is some kind of epidemic of distemper, or something else, that will thin them way out... |

I don't think anyone is really thinking the sharks will do anything to the seal population other than make for some excitement at the expense of a fairly hated adversary of the Cape Cod surf fisherman.
If there are 10 thousand seals on the Outer Cape (made up number as a stake in the ground), and there are ten sharks eating a seal a week for a month, that's only a half a percent of the population.
For me, personally, it is more:
(1) In the back of my mind, I'll always have the excitement of seeing those seals swimming 50 yards offshore and wondering if they are going to get whacked, and
(2) knowing there is at least something out there constraining what would otherwise be almost completely uninhibited growth in thier poplulation.....no matter how small that constraint may be

Hasn't happened in S. Africa, nor San Francisco with the sea lions. These animals have lived thousands of years like this, in consolidated, high-concentration herds. I'm not holding my breath for some epidemic to occur.
An A-10 Warthog strafing the herds would be the only solution. |

The funniest part of poor little seals is that Chatham is going to spend 300million dollars for a sewerage plant to keep the saltwater embayments clean all the while 6-8000 seals are crapping all over the sandbars. The population of Chatham is only 6-8000 people. It would make sense to me to have every tree hugger take a seal home with them to thin out the population

Orleans prolly gonna spend even more.....
Old Goat..they need some of that old cape cod common sense on them boards...but I think that has gone the way of the past too.
And they don't like questions either, we have found out over here...
they even had to come up with a "good nitrogen/bad nitrogen" answer to baffle things even more....and they keep changing info...
typical govt. project....just pay pay pay and shut up...
I still have not figured out why we been pumping everything into Skaket Marsh the last 20 years...great place to build a chit plant.....
and the clamming went straight to hell from Rock Harbor alll the way down thru Brewster right after.... and some strange looking grasses grew quick..
Now we are gonna sewer even more into there..
pump the chit outta the Pleasant Bay side over to the CCBay side...
injuneers and environutz is amazing sometimes....
But...back to Seals and their poo...
gonna be a trainload more of it coming, thats for sure. |

Funny, there was a brief article about the sharks on Chatham in the NY Post yesterday, I was laughing hysterically that it made the NY Post.

I lived on the west coast for a little bit. Here is how it goes.
Sharks and seals stay.
People can't use the beach.
Maybe as we slide into being a third world nation lawless abandon will take over and anything goes, the earthy crunchy people will lose their clout. Machetes and louisville sluggers on the beach. . . . oh well it's nice to dream. |

Think into next year when there's major beach closures and the already low numbers get even lower for local business.Plovers,sharks,and seal poo closures will surely drown the cape in the future.Sad and nothing can be done about it.I have no solid info about the numbers mentioned previously but the numbers everywhere are down.
