Great Whites
Sign on Wellfleet town beaches, summer 2016. When "Jaws" was filmed, Great Whites were rare-to-unheard-of on Cape Cod, the setting for the movie. About 15 years ago I attended a presentation by Massachusetts's shark biologist, who noted that the Cape's seal population was rebounding after legal protections were established; he predicted that within a decade, great white sharks would begin to patrol the waters of one of the most popular vacation hot spots in the NorthEast. He was right, as noted in this link .
