Another shark attack

[ivanputski]

I believe The general public is too out of touch with the seal = great white connection... They are clueless that the sharks are there because of the seals.... and Most people take pictures of the seals and think they are cute because one waved at them at sea world once.

A campaign just first be made to shine a light on the detrimental affects of an out of control seal population so people understand one thing... SEALS = BAD FOR CAPE COD.
Then you will have support instead of push back.

The blame for this shark attack ultimately lies with the seals

Wish they would all head back to the Catskills . That place needs tourism badly . That's why it was so much better years ago when the Catskills was the hopping spot for many . Less people on the Cape . The seals have been and always will be the problem until they do something about them . Like was said you have to point out the ecological problems seals cause and health issues related to being in the same waters as seals . Like feces , bacteria and sharks attacks .

I think just the opposite, that the public is so pro seal they'll be fine with it regardless the problems that arise. They sure AF don't care about anglers.

As fishers we understand who goes where on the food chain. The general public won't care and 95% of them don't go to the back beaches anyway so there is not risk for them.
