There's some great pics of Greg Skomal and the boys tagging the manatees over on the Cape here.

Some really great shots of how close in to the surf break that they're working in.
This shot is really nice:

Awesome job tagging five whites.

This is pretty good too:

I like this quote:
"It's entirely possible the area where they are sighted could see them coming back year after year, the seal colony being the key," said George Burgess, director of the Florida Program for Shark Research in Gainesville. "White sharks love seals. If the seal colony is doing well, and their numbers are increasing, it's probably a pretty good guess white shark (population numbers) will rise as well."
