🌱 Fly To More Summer Destinations + New Beach Shark App + N.H. Gives

Hello, friends! I'm here with your fresh copy of the Manchester Daily, filled with everything you need to know about what's happening in town. Keep reading for the latest.

First, today's weather:

Clearing, a shower or two. High: 76 Low: 61.

Here are the top stories today in Manchester:

1. If you're going to the beach this summer, you may want to have the Sharktivity App on your cell phone. Scientists developed the new app "with input from the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries, the Cape Cod National Seashore, and officials from Cape Cod and South Shore towns" to raise awareness of white shark activity on the Atlantic coast. White shark sightings are tracked by researchers, safety officials, and users who can upload photos for confirmation. The app is to help prevent encounters with white sharks and promote safety for sharks, and people. You can find out more here: (AWSC)
2. MHT is celebrating more reasons to fly the friendly skies from the Manchester-Boston regional airport! Manchester celebrated 603 Day last Friday, and the airport celebrated new flights and expanded routes with a "water salute" for an American Airlines airplane with a new nonstop flight from MHT to Chicago-O’Hare (ORD). American also added nonstop flights to Charlotte with larger Airbus 319 planes, "adding 100 more seats," and United Airlines added a flight to Newark (EWR), "with an additional 50 seats," airport officials announced.
