When I heard the report on the news and they stated that the GWS population and sightings were up due to the massive Seal Population. The sharks are going where the food is. Think of the areas that we see these sharks in mostly, they all have a high concentration of seal or sealion populations. I wonder how many of those who are fighting for the safety of the seals in La Jolla are also ocean swimmers wishing they never get attacked by a GWS. By fighting for the seals, you are increasing your chances.
I love the way the media is jumping all over this.

"The elbow of the cape has these large, dense concentrations of gray seals now, and these white sharks go to the area to feed," he said. "Because the seals are so abundant, now the white sharks are paying more attention." Skomal said the gray seal population off Cape Cod has grown from 10,000 to more than 300,000 since protections were put in place. But Skomal said beach goers need not worry about impending shark attacks. The seals are located in a national wildlife refuge that is difficult for people to reach. - This guy is joking.....right? "Sharks are not there to feed on people; they're there to feed on seals." - If that many GWS start showing up, it's only a matter of time, accident or otherwise.
