Ping means that a smart position and temperature transmit (spot) tag attached to the shark’s dorsal fin remained on the water while the animal was swimming, and almost live position signal to the Ocean Shark Tracker Send.
The candidate’s presence at Volusia County Waters first became known on Saturday, February 8th, when the animal pinged four times off the Ormond Beach Coast.

The Ocean Predator was tagged from the Florida Georgia border on January 17th.
The candidate first surfaced in Florida on January 26th, when the sharks continued three times off the Fernandina Beach Coast. Since then, on February 6, I swam south towards the sea off St. Augustine, then zigzags and rings between Amelia Island and Jacksonville Beach before heading to Volsia County.

Things you need to know about the potential Oceanic Great Hhite Shark
The candidate, an adult male white shark, was tagged by Oceanarch off the coast of Georgia Florida Coast on January 17th.
“Meet our competitor, the ultimate sea warrior! This powerful white shark was tagged approximately 45 miles off the coast of Florida/GA on January 17, 2025.” , read the Shark Tracker page.
“The candidate is a mature man who contributes to Ocean’s mission, Shark Research and Ocean Conservation.”
The candidate was 13 feet, 9 inches at the time, weighing 1,653 pounds, and became the largest male white shark tagged by OCEARCH.
“Contender is the largest male white shark the Oceanic team has ever sampled, tagged, released and studied in the population of NW Atlantic Hhite Shark. So he’s pretty special,” says Nicole Larson, chief marketing officer of Oceanic. I said it in an email.
According to the tracker, the shark has traveled 224 miles since being tagged.
The candidate is reportedly named after longtime OCEARCH partner Contender Boats.
Are there great white sharks in Florida?
yes. Large sharks move south as the water gets colder and food sources become rare from the Canadian Atlantic coast and the areas around Cape Cod, New England, according to Dr. Bob Hutel, the chief scientist.
According to Oceanarch, during the warm months, these apex predators take advantage of the abundant seal populations and abundant prey resources found in these regions.
As temperatures drop and food sources decrease, white sharks are caused by a combination of lower water temperatures and changes in time during the day, encouraging southward movement.
Think of them as shark snowbirds.
Most of them tend to move away from beaches in the waters of the continental shelf, Hutel said.
Where are the great white sharks in Florida?
The great white shark is found in all the oceans, but is far from the cold waters of the Antarctic and the Arctic Circle. They can be found around the Florida coast, from the state’s east coast to the bay.
How many great white sharks are there?
There is no absolute data on the world group of white sharks. Estimates vary widely from 3,000 to over 10,000.
According to NOAA Fisheries:
The stock status of the white shark population in US waters is unknown and the stock assessment has not been completed. Research by NOAA fisheries scientists is currently not planned for inventory assessments in the Atlantic. Scientists have shown that the rich trends are increasing in the Northwest Atlantic as regulations protecting them were first implemented in 1990. The population of white sharks in the Pacific Ocean appears to be on the rise, and there is no risk of being at risk in US waters.
What do great white sharks eat?
According to NOAA Fisheries, white sharks have a diverse and opportunistic diet of fish, invertebrates and marine mammals.
The boy’s white shark mainly eats bottom fish, small sharks and rays, school fish and squid.
Large white sharks often gather around seals and sea lion colonies, feeding them, and sometimes removing dead whales.
Facts about the Great White Shark
Weight: Up to 4,500 pounds Length: Approximately 4 feet (at birth) and up to 21 feet (adult) Lifespan: 70 years or bone fracture: bycatch, habitat impact, overfishing. According to NOAA Fisheries, white sharks are a species (not permitted to be retained) that is prohibited in all US waters and fisheries. There is no commercial fishing for white sharks, but they are sometimes caught as bycatch.region. Instead, they tear it into pieces and swallow it completely. Sharks have infinitely regenerated teeth and infinitely regenerated. Smell: According to Oceanarch, the great white shark can smell a drop of blood in an Olympic-sized swimming pool. You can hunt in the light of light, at dusk, at dusk, or at deep seas, ocean reported. White sharks can detect weak electrical signals emitted by creatures even under the sand. You can also identify changes in water vibrations and sense movement to find prey.
Great white sharks from Florida on Ocean Shark Tracker
The great white sharks of the North Atlantic travel south in winter to Florida and the Gulf Coast, looking for warmer water and more food sources.
Oceanarch tagged 125 white sharks. Many of them are along the East Coast and Nova Scotia.
