There’s something in the water off the Outer Banks, and that something is a lot of sharks.
The nonprofit research organization Ocearch recorded several pings for nine sharks off the Outer Banks of North Carolina in the last month.
According to Ocearch, sharks use the continental shelf waters around the Outer Banks as a staging area before heading north to waters around Nova Scotia later in the summer. Shark activity off North Carolina’s coast typically surges from April through June as they take advantage of the food supply to prepare for migration to summer feeding grounds.
