Researcher Planning To Study Cape Attitudes Toward Seals

A new study planned for this summer is supposed to gauge how Cape Cod residents, visitors, and fishermen feel about sharks and seals, which have dominated attention in recent years on the Outer Cape.

Public officials on Cape Cod have discerned significant support for culling seals in order to decrease the presence of great white sharks, which have been responsible for two serious injuries and one death on the Outer Cape during the past few years.
