00:02 About 9.30, I was by myself on the beach.
00:07 There was two people in the water already.
00:11 I heard screaming.
00:14 And I saw the blood.
00:18 Seems like more and more sharks were arriving
00:21 in Cape Cod each year.
00:23 But not until the poor boy was killed
00:25 did it really seem like, OK, now they're here.
00:27 It's never quite been the same since the fatal attack.
00:31 It did cause a rift in the community.
00:34 This was a beautiful young man who lost his life
00:37 because we've been sitting doing nothing.
00:40 Violence can intersect any moment,
00:41 but one wouldn't have thought that the sunny afternoon
00:44 off the coast of New England, a shadow was waiting.
00:50 It's easy to get caught up in the jaw's angle to things.
00:54 It was like this thing around.
00:56 And take our eye off the bigger picture.
00:58 The research we're doing is really
01:00 to learn more about these animals
01:01 so that we can prevent a bad interaction with the shark.
01:05 Got him.
01:06 Yeah!
01:07 Sharks, they're attracted by the seals,
01:09 and there are a lot of seals.
01:10 Because of the Marine Mammal Protection Act,
01:12 you can't touch them, you can't look at them,
01:14 you can't even yell at them as you go past them.
01:16 But there's something else going on down there.
01:19 The water's warm, so everything's marching north.
01:23 Human activities have imbalanced the ecosystem.
01:27 We have a problem here, ladies and gentlemen,
01:29 and the problem is man-made.
01:32 We like to think that our lives are orderly,
01:34 but we don't find cooperation from the natural world.
01:37 Did you see that?
01:38 A fin.
01:39 Some of these people are acting like the ocean's
01:41 their little playground.
01:43 Doesn't work that way.
01:45 We're right in the damn swimming area.
01:46 The marine balance equation means
01:48 humans are part of the equation.
01:50 Finding that balance is not easy.
01:54 Humankind must learn humility in the face of nature.
