Another Shark Sighting Closes Cape Cod Beach
Plus, researchers tagged their 10th great white of the season.
TRURO, MA – A shark breached the water a little too close to shore off Cape Cod, closing a beach in Truro. Swimming was suspended for an hour Monday after the shark was spotted about 100 yards from shore, according to the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy's Sharktivity app.
Researchers also tagged an 11-foot great white and a 9-foot great white off Nauset Beach in Orleans. They are the 10th and 11th great white sharks to be tagged this season.
