Great white shark tagged by @OCEARCH cruising the East Coast of the U.S. Track me here: https://t.co/Zf7WXPKKE2
East Coast of the U.S.
Joined November 2012
Two years ago on this date, at 6:54 a.m., I pinged for the last time off the coast of New Jersey. Five years and nearly 40,000 miles of tracking by @OCEARCH since I was tagged Sept. 17, 2012, off of Cape Cod. What? I was supposed to change the batteries? Who knew? -;()

It has been a year since my last ping. Some wonder if I’ve met my demise. Others suggest my battery lost its zing. But my @OCEARCH fans know I like to surprise. -;() #DontFearTheFin

What happens after sharks are tagged, data is gathered and scientists do their work? @OCEARCH sits down with policymakers in Washington to explain the importance of that collaboration. Will it guide them toward passing responsible policies? Fins crossed. -;()

Katharine is alive & well! Tagged in Aug ‘13, & she’s still giving us her location more than 7 years later. "This is a record for our Atlantic SPOT-tags, that normally only send white shark data to us for about 5 years." said Dr. Bryan Franks of @JacksonvilleU #FactsOverFear
