Two great white sharks are hanging out at the Jersey Shore and Delaware beaches this Memorial Day weekend. Mary Lee, a 16-foot, 3,456-pound great white shark surfaced in the water near Cape May, New Jersey and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware Saturday and remained in the area Sunday, according to the non-profit shark-tracking group OCEARCH.
The mature predator was about 15 miles east-southeast of Cape May when she last pinged on OCEARCH’s radar at 7 a.m. Sunday. Two hours earlier, she pinged near the shore of Lewes and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Researchers have been monitoring the shark’s movements after tagging her off Cape Cod back on September 17, 2012. Since then she’s made several trips to New Jersey. READ MORE
