The weather has closed them down even though a few white sharks remain in this area.
We will have to wait for late May or early June for white sharks to come back to Cape Cod. -Tom
Shark Cameras...The next best thing to lasers. ;)
There is just so much we can learn from Great White Sharks.
Their research on Covid is amazing.
The shark season is just about over, and the biologists will be working on the information gathered this winter.
Information gathering will start up again when the white sharks show up on Cape Cod in this coming end of May or June. -Tom
And my mind started racing about what fun Megan must be on a date. Imagine the conversation turning to her excitement about sharks resting on the ocean floor with seal guts hanging from their gills. I wouldn't be able to contain myself!
My only concern with this technology...
What’s to keep the Chinese shark fin soup fishermen from using the ping signal to track and capture the sharks?
IO’m not talking about the caps that pop off, but there is even a real time map (https://www.ocearch.org/tracker/) you can zoom into to find where these tagged sharks are.
Where do they go in the winter? Miami?...............
We have had a nice fat 15 footer show up here . Probably following calving Humpback whale pods. Knocked the two front teeth out of a surfer it rushed. How’s that for a close call? Dentist Whitey....
Thank you for the update, Capt. Tom...:)
Always appreciate the information.
There will be some pressure put on our local shark biologists on Cape Cod to come up with more information as to what white sharks are doing.
That pressure will come from “OSEARCH”, that has been trying for many years to get into Mass. waters to do some white shark research. The State has kept them out of Mass. waters for doing white shark research, but they are still trying to get in here.
You can read about the beef from the link below. -Tom

I recall that sharks do not get cancer.
It’s all that saltwater they drink.
