A large male great white shark named Contender was detected near North Carolina's Outer Banks. This shark is being tracked by OCEARCH to understand its migration patterns. Contender is the largest male great white shark ever tagged in the western North Atlantic. He has traveled over seven thousand miles between the United States and Canada. Shark sightings are not unusual during seasonal migrations along the coast.
