A 1,653-pound great white shark, nicknamed Contender, has been tracked swimming just off Nantucket’s coast—making waves among locals and vacationers alike. At nearly 14 feet long, Contender is the largest Atlantic great white ever tagged by researchers, and his movements are being closely followed via OCEARCH’s public shark tracker. He was first tagged near Florida and has made his way up the East Coast, now lurking between Georges Bank and Nantucket Shoals. This real-time tracking isn’t just fascinating—it’s helping scientists learn more about shark migration and ocean health. How do you feel about sharing the water with such a massive neighbor? #Pets #Nantucket #GreatWhiteShark
