Great White Sharks Move North to Maine and Cape Cod Following Growing Seal Populations; Shark Bites Remain Rare

Recent data indicates that great white sharks are increasingly migrating northward, spending more time in the colder waters off New England and Atlantic Canada, including areas such as Maine and Cape Cod where sightings were previously rare. This shift is linked to the growing seal populations in these northern regions, which serve as prey for the apex predators. Despite the rise in shark presence, incidents of shark bites on humans remain extremely rare. Boaters, beachgoers, and fishermen in these areas are adapting to the increased shark activity. Additionally, there have been reports of other shark species attacking seals off Massachusetts for the first time, and unusual shark sightings, including an orange shark with white eyes in Central American waters and a fluorescent green sea creature identified as a new species, have sparked scientific interest.
