Great White Sharks Detected Along Northeastern Coast, Migrating Thousands of Miles for Food

  • Four great white sharks were recently detected swimming near New York, New Jersey, and Rhode Island.
  • The sharks are migrating north to feeding grounds in waters around Cape Cod and Nova Scotia like they do each year.
  • One shark named Jekyll traveled over 1,500 miles from Georgia to Atlantic City in 103 days.
  • The sharks are seeking warmer waters and prey like grey seals and tuna.
  • Although the sharks were detected near busy beaches, the risk of an attack is very low.
