A great white shark, tracked to New Jersey, remains off the southern coastline this morning.

The non-profit group OCREACH tracked a shark named “Mary Lee” to a location just east of Brigantine on Friday morning.

The group gets a ping from Mary Lee every time her dorsal fin surfaces.

She has been making her way north since April and traveled nearly 193 miles in the past 72 hours

If you want to read about the 1916 shark attacks along the New Jersey shoe I would recommend,
Twelve days of Terror" by Richard G. Fernicola and:
"Close to Shore" by Michael Capuzzo.

These true stories are more interesting than "Jaws" -Tom

Last time great white made it up to Rhode Island 100 people died. Hope it doesn’t get that bad.

They did a documentary on this and you can probably catch it on you tube. I remember seeing it on the History channel.

Interesting. Haven’t found the one from the History Channel, but found this from November 2012:

Sorry let me clarify. The show was based on the 1912 shark attacks.

Did you see the one about the great white they tracked that was eaten by something about 60 ft long. The shark was being tracked and then the trackers heat tracer spiked up to 70 degrees and the scientist said it was in the stomach of something else.
