Sharktober? Great Whites Still Swimming Around Off Cape Cod
Three other great white sharks were also spotted off Cape Cod on Monday, according to the Sharktivity app.
The last two years have seen more than the usual number of great whites off the Cape. Researchers using a plane and boats spotted 147 individual white sharks last summer. That was up slightly from 2015, but significantly more than the 80 individual sharks spotted in 2014.
Already this year, well over 40 great white sharks have been spotted off Cape Cod.
A team of shark-lovers hits the waves to track and catalog the sharks that enter Massachusetts waters.
