I don't get it
I've never seen or heard of anyone studying,following with planes, tagging by stabbing with darts or generally harrassing seals like they are doing to the sharks.

When are they going to track the migrations and find the reasons the seals are here

You guys are missing the point....they finally put the 2 + 2 together so the general public can understand.

The Sharks are here because the Seals are here.....in an "easy to understand for the moron on the beach" format....right on Good Morning America.

Might wake a few more people up to the problems created by the seals

protect the seals, seal reproduce, more seals more sharks. NBC has an 'expert' that said that more sharks are seen this summer because of the unusual heat. That does not explain last year, when it was cool.

Glad ABC got the memo. If Mass says go kill some seals, I will bring my 30-06 and my fishing rod.

The sun shines on a dog's ass every once in a while, maybe today is my day!

The orv access road to high head has been full of people Walking on, trying to drive onto High Head is a nightmare

Once the seal watchers get out to see the seals most cross the stay back fence and signs down to the water line someone is going to get hurt by seal then they won't be so cute

2 sharks spotted off the back beach in Truro last Thursday
