Jaws Appears off Massachusetts Beaches

Massachusetts officials are using high-tech tags to track the movements of two great white sharks near Cape Cod — the first time the fearsome fish have ever been tagged in the Atlantic Ocean.

Bringing the scary shark movie Jaws to mind, great white sharks are common in cold Atlantic waters and biologists believe that rising seal populations in the area is one reason the big fish are coming closer to shore.

All east facing beaches are closed through the holiday weekend.
