Scientists Find Great White Sharks Pushing Further North More Than Ever
Researchers said 2 sharks moved farther north than ever, while OCEARCH estimated about 2,000 great whites use Atlantic Canadian waters each summer.
Great white sharks are moving further north than ever before because their numbers have increased, according to scientists.
About 2,000 great white sharks from the western North Atlantic population migrate north to Atlantic Canadian waters each summer.
Researchers tracked two great white sharks traveling further north than previously recorded, near the northern tip of Newfoundland.
White shark populations were heavily reduced between the 1970s and 1990s but are now recovering due to protection efforts, leading to more sharks near Canada.
