It's shark season on Cape Cod:
The warning signs are up, and people know to be aware, thanks to more than a decade of research. Most sharks return to the Cape between August and October. But even though it's still early in the season, the sharks are definitely here. Here's what beachgoers should know.on the shark research the organization is doing.
"We’re getting more into predatory behavior in particular. We want to know how and when they’re feeding on seals. Are there patterns in that? It’s really powerful information for us to have," Megan Winton, staff scientist at the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy, said. The agency noted that it"will continue to conduct regular aerial patrols in areas where sharks are known to be active," and used the moment as a chance to warn swimmers to be aware of their surroundings.
"When swimming on Cape Cod avoid areas where seals are present. Don't isolate yourself. Swim, paddle, kayak, and surf in groups. Follow all signage and flag warnings at beaches and instructions of the lifeguards," they said on Facebook.
