First Cape shark sighting of the season off Provincetown: Atlantic White Shark Conservancy (It s a Basking Shark)
Posted on
The sharks are back roaming along the Cape shoreline.
The Atlantic White Shark Conservancy on Thursday reported its first basking shark sighting off Provincetown’s Herring Cove Beach this season.
Although great white shark sightings are increasing every year along the Cape, they are not the only large shark off the Massachusetts coast.
The basking shark is the second largest fish in the ocean, and is often confused with white sharks, especially as their large dorsal fin often can be seen above the water.
