Are there more sharks hanging around American beaches than

17. I go to the outer tip of Cape Cod every summer

The number of shark sightings and beach closures has gone up exponentially. It is now routine to see seals pop up in the water less than ten meters from where we are swimming. The water is way warmer than it used to be twenty or even ten years ago, too. This is like a big Free Lunch sign in Sharksville, and they now come in increasing numbers. We NEVER used to see great whites that far north.

Since swimmers in black wetsuits resemble seals to sharks, they occasionally get treated as the lunch sharks thought they were. They rarely come back for seconds, since we don't taste like seals, but if you've already been bitten in half, that is small consolation.
