You need a lot of prayers, because this is what you're up against:

"Donna Wilcock stood knee-deep in the water on a sandbar as her 9-year-old daughter, Ashley, waded back to her through the small breakers. She had heard about the shark, but didn't tell her daughter.

''She would have felt sorry for the seal,'' she said. Wilcock summers in Chatham, but lives in Virginia and sometimes vacations in Florida where sharks and shark attacks are more common."

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.

A seal population attracting big predators to the same waters shared by 9 year old girls will pose some very difficult issues for the Federal agencies protecting marine mammals. We all know their response will initially be to defend the status quo, but the economic ramfications will likely prove severe to communities dependent on their beaches for their livelihood and tax base if, like elsewhere in the world, a large marine mammal population starts predictably attracting great whites year after year. Economic interest drives political will, and political will molds Federal agencies. It won't happen quickly, but if a majority of the local population begin to see the seal population explosion as a real threat to their safety, lifestyle, and income, then some sort of seal population control becomes a much greater possibility than presently exists. Slim chance I agree, but better than nothing which is what we have now.
