Massachusetts Department of Fish and Game's Gregory Skomal says a large number of seals in the area are attracting the sharks. He adds that higher water temperatures are also bringing in great whites.

"We've seen more white sharks this past July, the last month, than we did last year at this time," said Marine Biologist Gregory Skomal, in an interview with MSN.

In 2019, the state's Fish and Game Department has so far tagged 15 sharks in order to track their movements.
