According to OCEARCH, the shark is 12 feet and 4 inches long.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The non-profit marine research group provides data about shark migration and has tagged 84 of these large sharks, studying them from birth to old age. They also provide a\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ocearch.org\/app\/\">free mobile app to track sharks<\/a>\u00a0in near real-time.<\/p>\n<p>Ironbound has an electronic tracking device on him that pings whenever his fin breaks the surface. Researchers located the Canadian white sharkoff the coast of New Jersey about 10:30 p.m. on April 28. Now, it\u2019s moving south and just tracked near the Outer Banks in North Carolina as of lunchtime Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>OCEARCH said the 20-year-old shark has <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a>ed about 13,000 miles since first tagged. He has been going back and forth from the Florida Keys to Nova Scotia several times.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe likes to go to Canada in the summertime. He probably will fly by Cape Cod, where a lot of other white sharks spend the summer and go to Canada and feed on the seal population that\u2019s up there in Nova Scotia,\u201d OCEARCH chief scientist Dr. Bob Hueter said.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, he is following the migration path that great whites in the Atlantic Ocean make every year \u2013 spending summers in Canada and then swim south for the winter.<\/p>\n<p>He pinged about 80 miles away from the Jersey Shore coast in late April and then made his way to the Outer Banks, pinging there Tuesday afternoon.\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ocearch.org\/tracker\/detail\/ironbound\">You can track Ironbound\u2019s movements on the OCEARCH Global Shark Tracker.<\/a><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/ocearch-76.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"OCEARCH said the 20-year-old shark has traveled about 13,000 miles since first tagged.

If they were, they would bite a lot more of us every year. They have plenty of opportunities,\u201d he said. \u201cThese are animals that are feeding very high on the food web. They like things like seals, even whales, dead whales, and then lots of fish and sometimes other sharks, but not people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Over the last 40 years, shark populations have dropped. The animals are marked as vulnerable and face population decline because of overfishing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSharks have been decimated in waters around the world. But we have good <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>. Here in the United States and Canada, the white shark population is rebuilding. It\u2019s coming back, which is very important for restoring the ecological balance of the ocean,\u201d Hueter said. \u201cWhite sharks, being apex predators, are at the top, and they help to control that balance.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>OCEARCH said they study the sharks from all angles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery single animal gets a full 15 to 20 minute examination. Everything from their DNA up to finally putting these tags on them so that we can track them for up to ten years after we\u2019ve seen them and release them,\u201d Hueter said.<\/p>\n<p>Part of the reason OCEARCH wants to know where they are is to make fishermen aware of their location.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
