Delaney said that rigorous studies have not been able to prove a correlation between pollution and the presence of seals. Swim for Life organizers decided to change the route two weeks ago, when the Cape Cod National Seashore denied a permit for the usual course because of concerns about shark activity. We must consider whether sharks offer humans indirect benefits. “We’re very excited about the pond swim simply because I think we’re going to reach another part of the population that probably could have never done the one in the harbor,” Nagle said.
