Sharks

The researchers at OCEARCH believe that it is heading back north to the waters off Nova Scotia after swimming as far south as Florida.

Ironbound is 12 feet 4 inches long and weighs almost 1,000 pounds.

Too close for comfort? Maybe. A 1,400-pound great white named Breton apparently enjoys the waters of the Jersey Shore. He got a taste of South Jersey when spotted in the Cape May area on Monday. He has moved north to our neck of the woods.

Once fishermen hooked a 500-pound thrasher it took them three hours to reel the shark in.

Lou and Liz took their show on the road for another beautiful Wednesday morning at Jenkinson's Boardwalk in Point Pleasant Beach.  Like last time, our friends at Jenkinson's Aquarium stopped by and brought a few of their favorite buddies.

Shark sightings off the New Jersey coastline have forced swimmers out of the water more than once already this summer, North Carolina's coast has been plagued by several shark attacks since June, and to top it off, it's Shark Week on the Discovery Channel.

It is that time again the sun on your skin, warm weather, school is out, and the beach is your only priority.  Yes, it is time for summer and with summer coming it is important to keep in mind some helpful safety tips.

Sharks attacking dolphins, or at least trying to, probably happens quite a bit and we never even know about it. Nonetheless, a visitor to one South Jersey beach over the weekend snapped a picture which might indicate sharks are getting extra hungry.
