We took a boat tour out of Hyannis and the Capt grew up there, he also said he won't won't go back into the water nor letting his kids.

This really makes you wonder what's changing in the ocean. The footage was both fascinating and unsettling.
@
I used to swim way out. Never again!!!😂💀
@
I live on the Cape and am in shock how many people swim and surf in and around nauset beach. Anyone familiar will know that monomoy always had a few seals but not the thousands it has now.
@
It doesn't help surfers that they put on wetsuits that make them appear JUST like seals.

👀 I'm so looking forward to shark fest to start and I believe it all starts at 9:00 a.m. today.

It always confuses me when people ask "what do we do about the sharks?" Well, nothing, they live there and we're just visitors. They NEED to be in the ocean to survive, most people attacked by sharks are in there for recreation. You can do your best to educate people, and study why these attacks happen but ultimately it's because we're going into their territory. The vast majority of people who've died in the ocean drowned, drowning is far more common and something we can actually take measures to prevent.

People that's where they live, your taking a chance when you get in the water.

@02:45 Hey Nick, what explains the North Atlantic cod fishery crash of the late 80’s at the lowest population point for seals?? Answer: fisherman like you. Not seals.

Always had a fascination with the Hammerhead. A biological oddity

Because it’s the ocean. You know where the sharks actually live.

Luv how people try & blame seals for fishing stocks gone, Not the Extreme human overfishing we have been going past 109+ years and continue to do 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️

Here in New York City the other day they made us get out of the water. There were a swarm of bull sharks close to us

Every hunt tells a different story. Sometimes speed wins, sometimes patience wins, and sometimes even the strongest predator walks away hungry. That’s what makes wildlife documentaries so addictive to watch.

Why is this shot like a true crime doc? It’s sharks, not serial killers.
@
They follow the food. In this case seals. Not rocket science.
