Jack Onofrio (@0nofrio) was kayaking about two mil Jack Onofrio (@0nofrio) was kayaking about two miles off 2nd Beach on Sunday afternoon when he encountered a pod of dolphins moving steadily through the water. The dolphins appeared calm and unhurried, surfacing periodically as they traveled along the coast. The sighting offered a quiet glimpse of marine life in its natural environment. This comes during an active summer for local waters. Recent sightings have included hammerhead sharks and great whites, suggesting a notable presence of marine species in the area. As conditions remain favorable, more sightings are likely in the coming weeks. Follow @newportbuzz for more fun Rhode Island moments! #dolphin #newportbuzz #newportri #middletownri #dolphins
A massive great white shark — the largest ever t A massive great white shark — the largest ever tagged in the North Atlantic — was detected about 50 miles off the coast of Nantucket on Friday, according to researchers at @ocearch. The adult male shark, named Contender, measures 13 feet 9 inches long and weighs an estimated 1,653 pounds. OCEARCH, a nonprofit organization dedicated to ocean research and conservation, first tagged Contender in January off the coast of Georgia and Florida. Now, he’s making waves in New England waters. The team used a SPOT (Smart Position and Temperature Transmitting) tag to monitor the shark’s movements. The device will provide real-time tracking data for about five years, helping scientists better understand the species’ migration patterns, habitats, and behavior. In addition to tracking technology, researchers collected biological samples — including urogenital material — to study reproduction and overall health. Contender was named in partnership with Contender Boats, a long-time supporter of OCEARCH’s expeditions. Their vessels help researchers reach tagging sites and safely collect data from large sharks like this one. Shark activity often increases in New England during the summer, but researchers say sightings like this are valuable opportunities to advance science and raise awareness — not cause for alarm. OCEARCH encourages the public to follow Contender’s journey through their free shark tracker, offering a rare glimpse into the travels of one of the ocean’s most powerful predators. 📸 Ocearch 1/17/25 #greatwhiteshark #nantucket #ocearch #newportbuzz #whiteshark
