August 2012 marked the first shark attack in Cape Cod in almost a century. Six years later, the inevitable first fatal attack took place. The Cape went from being America’s carefree seaside getaway to a place where families are confronted with large beachside billboards that warn of a growing great white shark population. Dr. Greg Skomal, a shark biologist and a leading expert on great white sharks, he balances research and conservation initiatives with public safety and economic interests equipped with three decades of field research. From tagging and tracking to studying predator-prey interactions between sharks and seals, to entering the ocean to unravel the history and behavior of these charismatic creatures, Skomal leaves no stone unturned in his pursuit of the secrets of the great white shark or the puzzle of how humans are to live with these apex predators.
