Fourth Shark Tagged Off Cape Breton

U-S researchers say they’ve tagged a fourth great white shark in waters off Cape Breton.

Ocearch says an adolescent shark they’ve called Caper was tagged yesterday off Scaterie Island, near Main-a-Dieu.

They describe shark activity in the area as amazing.

A male Shark Ocearch named Sydney was the first one they tagged on their Cape Breton expedition.

That was followed by another male named Murdoch and a female great white the group called Unama’ki, the Mi’kmaq name for Cape Breton Island.
