Three sharks have been spotted off the coast of Massachusetts in the past month. The most recent sighting was just offshore, off of Chatham. Great whites are not foreign to these waters, but it never stops being scary.

I’ve created a Google map to locate this season’s shark sightings or captures. Please help improve the map by reporting new sightings or correcting the coordinates.

The experts warn: Don’t swim around seals. Sharks like to eat seals.
