The weather outside is frightful, but the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy is always on call! Working with Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries and NOAA Fisheries Service, the AWSC team was called out to two thresher shark strandings along the Cape today. Both of these male sharks were nearly the same size and likely stranded due to cold shock. Morphometric data, organs, and tissue samples were collected to be examined (once they thaw).

If you spot something strange on the beach in the Cape, you can always send us a message. Make sure you get both a picture and location.
