Cape Cod Beach Gets Shark Bite Treatment Kits

ORLEANS, MA — A Cape Cod beach recently received first aid materials used to immediately respond to a shark attack. The Atlantic White Shark Conservancy said Josh Stewart and the Merrimac Charitable Trust donated remote bleed control kids to Nauset Beach in Orleans.

The safety measure comes as Cape Cod gears up for the summer crowds. Officials have been examining ways to keep sharks away from the Cape's shores in the wake of two attacks on people last summer.

A Revere man fatally bitten while boogie boarding off Wellfleet last September was the state's first death from a shark attack in decades.
