Katharine the great white shark is alive and well, being tracked for a record-breaking 7 years
A familiar face resurfaced Oct. 30 after keeping fans in the dark for about a year and a half.
Katharine the great white shark is alive and well, pinging multiple times in the deep ocean off Virginia's coast in the last week and setting a new tracking record for the shark advocacy group OCEARCH's Atlantic SPOT-tags.
"It’s always great to know she’s doing well," said OCEARCH founder Chris Fischer. "So many people are connected to her. Florida fell in love with Katharine, and it’s great to hear from her."
Katharine's tracker emitted a "z-ping" April 4, but the tag, attached to her dorsal fin, wasn't out of the water long enough to pinpoint the shark. Her last known location was in May 2019 several hundred miles off the coast of South Carolina.
OCEARCH wasn't concerned when the organization hadn't heard from Katharine in a while, Fischer said. The average battery life of a SPOT-tag is about five years, and Katharine was first tagged in 2013.
Seven years later, though, Katharine now holds the record for the longest a shark has been tracked in the Atlantic Ocean.
Katherine is just "one of those magic sharks," Fischer said, providing plenty of pings throughout the years to track
