Shark talk comes to the Vineyard on Thursday, August 1 with a discussion by Dr. Greg Skomal called Living with White Sharks. The talk comes as White Shark activity in local waters has risen in the last few years due to the increase in the local seal population, particularly on Cape Cod, which experienced its first fatal shark attack last summer since 1936.

The talk takes place at the Old Whaling Church in Edgartown, beginning at 7 p.m. on August 1.

Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 at the door. Visit atlanticwhiteshark.org.
