Cape Cod,\u201d Maddie Porier with the Atlantic Shark Conservancy said. \u201cSo as our water heats up here off of Cape Cod, we do see those white sharks being a little bit more active close to shore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Porier and her team have tagged and tracked just over 200 sharks across the Atlantic Ocean.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
