TL;DR

A massive 1,400-pound great white shark named Breton, who has been tracked by OCEARCH since 2020, was spotted off the Florida coast near Daytona Beach after a 34,000-mile journey. Initially tagged in Nova Scotia, Breton's appearance coincides with the annual migration of various shark species to warmer waters during the winter months. This event highlights the migratory patterns of sharks in response to ocean temperature changes, with Breton and other sharks like Penny, a 522-pound juvenile, being monitored as they travel to Florida's coasts and the Gulf of Mexico.
