TL;DR

OCEARCH, a marine research organization, has tracked the movement of a massive 1,700-pound great white shark named Mahone off the coast of Georgia. Mahone was initially tagged in October 2020 near Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, and has since traveled over 17,800 miles. OCEARCH's current expedition aims to learn more about white sharks as they migrate to the southeast United States for winter residency and understand their reproductive cycle. The organization has successfully tagged 92 white sharks in the western North Atlantic and aims to reach a goal of 100 sharks sampled, tagged, and released.
