Massive Great White Shark Spotted Near Nantucket Coast

Researchers have spotted their largest recorded Great White Shark, nicknamed 'Contender,' off the coast of Nantucket, measuring over 13.5 feet and weighing more than 16,000 pounds. The shark, tagged earlier in Florida, has migrated northward along the Atlantic coast, and scientists plan to track it for five more years to study shark migration patterns amid increasing white shark populations due to climate change. Despite the presence of large sharks, Massachusetts has had only one fatal attack this century.
