Invasion of the Seals
Fishermen and others on Nantucket say a large increase in seals is fouling ponds and crowding out fishing. The Cape Cod Times reports that Crocker Snow Jr., whose family has owned a portion of a small island since 1948, says the number of adult seals on the island has increased to more than 3,500 last year, from 19 in 1994. He calls it a complete explosion in the population.
