They say the ongoing research has helped increase beach safety by giving local officials and beachgoers alike a better understanding of where great whites tend to appear, as well as what times of the day they tend to be most active.<\/p>\n<p>Skomal says there&#8217;s been a marked change in beachgoer behavior since the region saw two shark attacks on humans\u2014one of them fatal\u2014in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Many are increasingly keeping closer to shore when they swim, with others not venturing into the waters at all, he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a conservation success story in terms of sharks and seals,&#8221; Winton said. &#8220;At the same time, this is an important place for people to recreate, so it&#8217;s important to find ways to coexist.&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<div class=\"article-main__explore my-4 d-print-none\">\n<p>                                            New study to examine feeding habits of Cape Cod great whites\n                                        <\/p><\/div>\n<hr class=\"mb-4\"\/>\n<p class=\"article-main__note mt-4\">\n                                                \u00a9 2022 The Associated Press.
