WELLFLEET: At the entrance to Newcomb Hollow Beach, at the tip of the Cape Cod peninsula, the picture of a great white shark reminds swimmers that the US shores of the Atlantic must be shared with the ocean's most feared predator.

One victim was Arthur Medici, a 26-year-old belly board surfer killed by a great white just a few meters into the ocean at Newcomb Hollow Beach in September 2018. A stone plaque was placed at the beach in his memory. Local authorities, however, are taking no chances. This year the state has granted funds to Cape Cod peninsula towns to help them deal with sharks, even though there is no clear plan on what to do.

"We have all been trained in 'Stop the Bleed,'" she said, adding that the town is also offering training for residents.But for now, apart from a warning system that announces the presence of sharks that have been tagged with special chips, there is no long-term solution. "I would like to see what an examination of all the options look like to see if there is something that can be done," she said.
