Sharks off Cape Cod equipped with 'smartphones' featuring cameras, improved sensors
Fox News
Sharks being monitored off Massachusetts' Cape Cod are being equipped with so-called "smartphones" in an effort by scientists to better track their locations and alert swimmers.
Interactions between white sharks and humans are rare. But the risk is still there. There have been five in Massachusetts since 2012 — three of them classified as bites, one of which was fatal, said Greg Skomal, the state Division of Marine Fisheries shark expert.
"So as a result, we’ve intensified our research off the Cape to study various aspects of white shark behavior," Skomal said.
