| "You're in the water, sharks in the water..." [Mass Live] - The Discovery Channel's "Shark Week" special may be toward the end of July, but on Massachusetts famed southeastern peninsula, the shark activity is already well underway. In less than a week, from Wednesday June 27 through Tuesday, July 3, researchers have reported nearly a dozen white shark sightings off of Cape Cod, which sees some of its highest tourism times during the Fourth of July week. On Monday alone, five great white shark sightings were reported along the outer peninsula, forcing a temporary beach closure at Head of the Meadow Beach. The Atlantic White Shark Conservancy's "Sharktivity" map, designed by a team of Cape Cod officials and wildlife researchers, reports 11 white shark sightings across Cape waters in the last week. The sightings span from Chatham waters on the southern tip of the Cape to miles north near Provincetown. Two other unconfirmed sightings were also reported. |
