White Sharks Scavenging in Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary

August 2021

You will never guess what fin-tastic sight scientists in Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary stumbled upon this week!

Working with shark experts from the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries (Dr. Greg Skomal) and the University of Massachusetts Amherst (Dr. Andy Danylchuk) the team tagged five white sharks feeding on a carcass of a deceased one-year-old humpback whale in the sanctuary.
