Our work with the Massachusetts White Shark population study is winding down with only a couple of weeks to go to the end of the field season. The air and water temperatures are dropping and with the onset of autumn the weather in New England has added some drama to our trips when we can get out. The work continues to be exciting as we have observed changes in the shark behavior and especially in the size of the sharks that are in the area. Larger sharks, both male and female

Spring normally comes late to this part of the world. We on Outer Cape Cod are shackled to the slowly warming ocean on our shores and this keeps the ambient air temperatures lower than the mainland. Everything is later. That said - 2012 spring following our very mild winter is off to a warmer than usual start. Many signs of spring are apparent. #finwhales #minkewhales #rightwhales #capecod
