The Gray Curtain
Discover, through exciting and informative text, and 120 vivid images, the dynamic interrelationship between expanding gray seal populations and great white sharks along the beaches of Cape Cod and the northeast coast. The "Gray Curtain" has come about as a result of geologic and environmental changes, as well as a dramatic increase to over 20,000 Gray Seals that have impacted the area. There are great transformations taking place in the region, and both fishermen and scientists play a role in these dynamic coastal changes. However, they don't always agree on why the changes have occurred. In the minds of many commercial fishermen, the return of the now-protected gray seal has played a major part. Today however, a new charismatic, apex predator has entered the picture: The Great White Shark. Responsible for several shark attacks on humans in the last few years. This enlightening, intriguing and colorful book brings together the main factors that have created the phenomenon of The Gray Curtain.
