The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History presents
Naturalist & Author Peter Trull
“The Gray Curtain”


BREWSTER, MA ­ The Cape Cod Museum of Natural 
History in Brewster, MA presents The Gray 
Curtain; The Impact of Seals, Sharks & Commercial 
Fishing on the Northeast Coast with educator, 
naturalist and author Peter Trull, Saturday, September 26, 2015 at 1pm.

Through enthusiastic discussion and vivid images, 
author and Field Naturalist Peter Trull will 
discuss and explain the relationship between 
commercial fishing, expanding Gray Seal 
populations, and Great White Sharks along the 
beaches of Cape Cod and the northeast coast. This 
"Gray Curtain" has come about as a result of 
geologic and environmental changes, as well as 
animal migrations and population increases that 
have impacted the area. Each has had an effect on 
the location and, though daily and seasonal 
changes are accepted as normal, there are great 
transformations taking place that may go 
unnoticed, some, unexplained. While fishermen and 
scientists don't always agree on why the changes 
have occurred, both have played a role in these 
dynamic coastal changes. In the minds of many 
commercial fishermen, the return of the 
now-protected gray seal has played a major part 
causing a new charismatic apex predator to enter 
the picture; the Great White Shark. This 
enlightening and colorful program will bring 
together the main factors that have created the phenomenon of The Gray Curtain.

Peter Trull has been involved in Research and 
Education for 35 years. He presently teaches 7th 
grade Science at the Cape Cod Lighthouse Charter 
School in Harwich MA, and holds a Master’s Degree 
in Education. He has written six books about Cape 
Cod natural history. His newest book The Gray 
Curtain was released in June 2015.
