Welcome @Gr8WhiteACK !

[OCEARCH @OCEARCH]

#ExpeditionNantucket is off to a great start! Announcing our first tagged shark named ACK, @Gr8WhiteACK, for the people of Nantucket. It gives us confidence we're in the right spot.

[Helena the Shark @helena_shark]

Woop woop! See where i ping in next!

[OCEARCH @OCEARCH]

3 white sharks all pinged in today to let us know where they are. @MissCostaShark @helena_shark & @MissMay_Shark are showing us just how big of an area white sharks can be found in right now.

Happy #EarthDay! It’s going to take us all to make meaningful changes that can protect our earth’s species. Here are a few easy steps anyone can take to protect sharks https://t.co/zefzSo4hEr

Checking the gills of a shark is an important aspect of the physical exam. We combine it with a blood sample and visual exam of each animal to make sure they are healthy as they can be! #SandTigerShark @SeaWorld

2 white sharks, @BrunswickShark and @Helena_Shark, are pinging off the coast of Charleston, South Carolina ri9ght now.

[Helena the Shark @helena_shark]

We're making waves!

[OCEARCH @OCEARCH]

Check out all of the tracks that have already been laid down by the four white sharks we tagged during #ExpeditionNASFA @BrunswickShark @helena_shark @SharkCaroline @MissMay_Shark

[Brunswick the Shark @BrunswickShark]

Hey everyone! It’s me Brunswick! I love this shot from the day I first met the guys at @OCEARCH I have to admit, I didn’t know why was going on at first, but now that I see so many of my friends here & see how we help my brothers & sisters, I’m excited! #ocearch #saveoursharks

[Helena the Shark @helena_shark]

Follow me and see where I go!

[OCEARCH @OCEARCH]

#SharkScienceFriday Where will our new sharks take us? Canada? Cape Cod? Somewhere new? @SharkCaroline @Helena_shark @BrunswickShark & @MissMay_Shark were all tagged in the shared NASFA region. Anyone want to take any guesses now about where they'll go?

[OCEARCH @OCEARCH]

Huge shark! Watch right after the man splashes. Though it looks like a large white shark, we suspect it’s more likely a basking shark. Either way it’s big! What do you think? Video sent by Jon Azato taken 20 miles off the coast of Oregon Inlet, NC

[Helena the Shark @helena_shark]

Taking a trip up to Brunswick, GA to say hi to the @OCEARCH crew while they're docked there!

[Helena the Shark @helena_shark]

I decided to visit Daytona Beach for my Spring Break!

[HiltonTheShark @HiltonTheShark]

Excellent! Look who finally figured out how to use her tracker! @helena_shark is pinging for the first time to let us know she is off the coast of Daytona Beach! I've been wondering where she is.

[OCEARCH @OCEARCH]

So exciting to finally get location pings from @Helena_Shark. We’ve had lots of z-pings from her but now she’s finally letting us know she is about 100 miles off the coast of Florida. @SeaWorld named her after St. Helena Island in South Carolina.

[Helena the Shark @helena_shark]

Hanging out with my buds from Expedition NASFA! Who wants to come say hi?

[OCEARCH @OCEARCH]

All 4 white sharks tagged during #ExpeditionNASFA have pinged in the last 72 hours!

Hey world, I'm Helena the shark! @OCEARCH gave me a fancy new SPOT tag that will track me as I travel around the Atlantic. Get all my updates here!
