Tip o’ the hat to The Dorsal Fin for this article. It’s been a while since I’ve written about the great whites of New England, but this is mainly because, according to the tagging studies performed by Greg Skomal of the Massachusetts DMF, the area’s…
It’s been a while since I’ve written about the great white shark presence off the coast New England, and I’m a little behind on the story now. According to the Cape Cod Times, eight white sharks have been tagged off the coast of Cape Cod…
