Great white sharks are making a comeback in the North Atlantic, especially near Cape Cod. Since being granted federal protection in 1997, their numbers have risen significantly. Many sharks are now spotted close to the shore, drawn by their favorite prey, grey seals. Researchers are tagging these sharks to study their movement and behavior, confirming that they often return to the same hunting grounds every year. Cape Cod has become known as a “hot spot” for these majestic predators.
