    Meet 3,541 pd mature female #whiteshark Nukumi. Named for the legendary wise grandmother figure of the Mi’kmaq people. With new data collected, this matriarch will share her wisdom with us and guard our ocean’s eco-system for years to come. #FactsOverFear #ExpeditionNovaScotia

    Here she is, the great @MaryLeeShark herself. In the past we’ve tracked her a few times off the coast of Charleston, SC this time of year. Since white sharks stick to pretty precise migrations, there’s a chance that’s where she’s at now.

    Be advised! For the first time ever, we are tracking a white shark in the Long Island Sound. 9’ 8” @GWSharkCabot is just off the shore near Greenwich. Follow him using the browser on any device at ocearch.org

    Huge shark! Watch right after the man splashes. Though it looks like a large white shark, we suspect it’s more likely a basking shark. Either way it’s big! What do you think? Video sent by Jon Azato taken 20 miles off the coast of Oregon Inlet, NC

    Sending well wishes to #AtlanticCanada as they prepare for #HurricaneFiona! Many of our sharks are in this region. It'll be interesting to see how they react to the storm. Will they stay deep or head offshore? We'll be watching their movements closely ocearch.org

    After weathering 3 storms and grinding it out for nearly 3 weeks with no #shark sightings, we were elated to successfully sample a 1,602lb #whiteshark today. The fog lifted & Mother Ocean gifted our science team the 12' 9" subadult female we named "Acadia". #ExpeditionNovaScotia

    Check out this huge shark spotted from a plane by OCEARCH fan Alicia Grimes near Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia. Who thinks they know what kind of shark it is?

    A year ago today we met this beautiful 17ft, 3,500lb Queen of the Ocean Nukumi! She’s the largest animal we’ve been able to sample, tag & release in our NW Atlantic White Shark Study. Her size & scars help tell inspiring stories of her decades helping balance our oceans.

    We just tagged our first ever white shark in Canadian waters! Everybody meet @NovaTheShark. Nova is a male who’s just over 11ft long. We tagged him off the beautiful South Shore of Nova Scotia. #NovaScotiaExpedition

    Shark number 9 of #ExpeditionNovaScotia just swam off the lift and he was big! The fishing team says he's one of the toughest sharks they’ve ever brought back to the cradle. A tough shark deserves a tough name so say hello to Ironbound! He was also tagged by West Ironbound Island
