Check this site before going swimming!
 

Pretty cool site. Since I was a kid I was always intrigued with sharks. This site tracks tagged sharks. Pretty interesting.

too bad it dont show radiation poisoning off the ca coast!! lol

That is a very interesting site. I clicked on a few of the sharks, but the one that caught my attention, after just randomly clicking on the shark dot was "Mary Lee." This shark has traveled all over, from Florida along the coastal Georgia & Carolina(s) then up to Massachusetts (including a trip to Bermuda), then back south again due east from the Georgia-Florida border.

But what caught my attention to this 16' long, 3,400 lb shark (Great White) was the fact it spent much of time near the Georgia, South & North Carolina shoreline. Just some big-ass shark swimming along, we never know it is there (the layperson). On a rainy Labor Day this is the way I am killing time? Looking at a sharks travel path. I must really be bored. Interesting site Gino.

Pretty cool!

Hard to believe that a Great White is cruising that close to shore like that and no one has a clue.

that site only tracks great whites, bull sharks are a much bigger problem in fl waters

It is hard to believe, or let me rephrase for me, I honestly do not want to know where the shark is because I may never get in the water again....but I will...

I like the ocean, I like the bay, I used to spend time in the water clamming, as a child/teenager/and adult (recreationally) sometimes behind Brigintine, NJ in the back bays for years (I mean I am in the water feeling for clams with my feet and hands in). So I had respect for the water, but a not a fear of the water, but when I see a path like the shark took, I do get second thoughts...The bravado of my youth is shrinking....


I really want to know where the Bullsharks are, since that species seems to be able to adapt to freshwater (based on information the those fishing shows - Fresh Water Monsters-extreme anglars I watch at night).

Now if I were to see a shark as far north in the Delaware River as far north as Penn's Landing (the heart of Philadelphia on the river), or in the C&D Canal near the Chesapeake Inn (Chesapeake City, MD), now that would make my eyes wide...both locations are freshwater

It does track Bullsharks, Mako, Blue, and Great White sharks. There is a Bullshark named Sabrina on this site, and it looks to me like it is swimming in areas where there may be bathers (people swimming). And on the other side of Florida is another Bullshark named Lori Anne near West Palm Beach but it looks like this shark just swims along the Florida shoreline, especially from Sanibel to St. Petersburg....

I regret having looked at this site, my mind will always wonder now, how close is that shark to me when I am in the water, but I am still going in the water....I will take my chances, I just won't swim in chum, and I will use some common sense.

Cool find Gino! Checked it before heading to the lake today. All clear...:drink:
