VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Two great white sharks appear to be spending their fall break off the Virginia coast. A “ping” occurs when a tagged shark’s dorsal fin breaks the surface of the water, TCPalm.com previously reported. Researchers first tagged Bob and Tancook in September 2021 near Nova Scotia, Canada, according to OCEARCH. Since then, Bob has traveled an estimated 2,725 miles, while Tancook has logged a whopping 6,949 miles, the organization reported. Tancook’s name “means ‘facing the open sea’ to the local indigenous Mi’kmaq people of Nova Scotia,” the organization said.

An 800-pound great white shark was swimming about 20 miles from Florida’s east coast earlier this week and is now cruising parallel to the Florida Keys. On Saturday, the great white was pinged swimming near the Florida Straits at about 11:05 p.m. EST, the OCEARCH tracker showed. For every tagged shark that make its presence known when it surfaces off of our beaches, there are plenty more non-tagged sharks out there. Researchers tagged Sable off the cooler waters of Nova Scotia, as the juvenile shark was temporarily hauled onto a boat by a hydraulic lift on an OCEARCH research vessel. “Sable is the 76th shark sampled, tagged and released in the nonprofit research organization’s Northwest Atlantic White Shark Study and the third of Expedition Nova Scotia 2021,” OCEARCH’s website states.

There are sharks prowling the waters off the East Coast but experts say it's not unusual to see swarms of great white sharks off the Eastern Seaboard at this time of year.

Attacks on both coasts raise new concerns this summer about beach safety, but Ocearch founder and expedition leader Chris Fischer believes people have a "statistically irrational" fear of sharks. Fischer joins "CBS This Morning" to discuss what's behind the worldwide all-time record for attacks, how to keep safe and his latest shark tracking and tagging expeditions.

In this week’s edition of “Sounds of the Toyota Green Room,” “CBS This Morning” co-host Gayle King talks shark tagging with Ocearch founder Chris Fischer and co-captain Brett McBride.
