1,600-pound great white shark discovered off coasts of Georgia and Florida

A research group has tracked a large great white shark off the coast of Georgia and Florida. OCEARCH reports the shark, named Contender, pinged 45 miles offshore on January 17. The male white shark is nearly 14 feet long. Scientists say this is the largest male great white shark ever caught, tagged and released by OCEARCH in the western North Atlantic region. The tag on Contender “will provide valuable real-time data for approximately five years, helping us track his movements and understand his migration patterns,” says OCEARCH.
