Great White Sharks Tagged Near Rhode Island Beaches: WPRI

The Atlantic Shark Institute tagged two great white sharks off the coast of Rhode Island in the past week, WPRI reported, with institute Director Jon Dodd calling the summer a "sharky one."

In addition to the two great white sharks, a pair of dead sand tiger sharks washed up in Jamestown and Westerly, WPRI said.

"Dodd said someone who saw the dead shark in Jamestown, which appeared to have propellor-related injuries, sent pictures to the institute," the station reported. "By the time scientists were able to get there, the sand tiger had been swept back out to sea."
