There was a 17foot "juvenile" great white a few years back that had gone into a alt pond near Woods Hole.
If 17 feet is juvenile, then let's definitely bring on the adults.
If the great white population also increases, maybe it could have an effect on the seals, but that's just wishful thinking.

If it was a juvenile, it was an extrordinary fish. The average adult GW grows to about 12 to 16 feet. The largest confirmed GW that was caught was "only" 21 feet. I'd be willing to bet that being up close to one would make it seem bigger than it actually is.

I got this information from one of the 10 shark books my son brought home from the library last week. He's obsessed with them. Every night I read a new book about sharks.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Here's the little girl that got lost in the pond off Woods Hole. One of the coolest things I have ever seen.

A friend of mine was swimming in Hadleys Harbor when she swam up river chasing the seals. He never saw the shark but a guy came flying up to him and said "Shark, there's a shark in the pond" "GET OUT OF THE WATER!" My friend thought he was crazy but got out because he wouldn't leave him alone. It wasn't until he went home and saw the news that learned that there really was a shark in the water.
