Great White Shark makes return to Cape Cod

The first great white shark confirmed in Massachusetts waters this year was detected off Monomoy on May 28 by a receiver that picked up signals from the animal’s acoustic tag, according to the state Division of Marine Fisheries.

The seals have rebounded since federal protection laws were enacted in the 1970s. continued @capecodtimes
