Quote: "“If you’re going to the Outer Cape, certainly pay attention to your surroundings; pay attention to the presence of seals and don’t go out too far,” said Greg Skomal, a state Marine Fisheries biologist and national go-to shark researcher."

He added a basking shark off Martha’s Vineyard, which some are saying is a great white now making the rounds, only stokes unnecessary fear."
