Wellfleet - At the entrance to Newcomb Hollow Beach, at the tip of the Cape Cod peninsula, the picture of a great white shark reminds swimmers that the US shores of the Atlantic must be shared with the ocean's most feared predator.
In 2005 the great whites were declared a protected species in the state of Massachusetts -- where Cape Cod is located -- and have since become regular visitors to the region. One victim was Arthur Medici, a 26-year-old belly board surfer killed by a great white just a few yards into the ocean at Newcomb Hollow Beach in September 2018. A stone plaque was placed at the beach in his memory.
One tactic some towns are using is to train lifeguards and residents on ways to stop severe bleeding in case of a shark attack."We have new 'Stop the Bleed' kits in our medical bags. We also have 'Stop the Bleed' kits up in the parking lots, so in case we are not here... anyone on the beach can access that," said Adriana Picariello, the head lifeguard at Newcomb Hollow Beach.
"We are seeing more danger to the human population while swimming," said Melyssa Millett, a seal and shark environmental guide on Monomoy Island, just south of the peninsula.Scientist are trying to find ways to manage the seal population, which in turn would help manage the shark population, she said."I don't think there will be anything that is a 100-percent deterrent," said surfer Christa von der Luft.
