Chatham's 2009 Sharks Are Snowbirds

Remember last summer's shark scare? Several great whites were hovering off Chatham's beaches, probably in response to the increasing numbers of Grey seals. Part of last summer's drama were the shark hunters who successfully tagged five of the sharks with electronic monitors, so they could track where the sharks went when the waters got chilly, and the seals went elsewhere.

We now know the answer for two of the sharks. They went south, over 1000 miles, to Florida. Watch the video and read the story on Boston.com.
