A Twitter user recently raised the alarm by posting a screenshot of a tracker app showing about 100 sharks gathering in the Atlantic Ocean near the East Coast of the US.

A platform user with the handle @punished_stu tweeted early Wednesday “sharks are amassing on the east coast” with an accompanying screenshot of about 100 sharks along the US coast line. The tweet went viral, garnering more than 6,000 retweets and 53,000 likes.

“I occasionally log in to check that the nearest Great White is at least 2000 miles away,” the Twitter user followed up.

The graphic came from shark tracking website Ocearch, which attempted to calm unnerved social media users.

A spokesperson for the tracker told The Sun there’s no cause for concern.

“We are currently studying the Northwest Atlantic White Shark, the white sharks that live off the Eastern United States and Canada,” the rep explained. “This is why we have so many recently tagged sharks in this area. We have tagged 83 white sharks in the NW Atlantic.”

Dr. Christopher Lowe, Director of the Shark Lab at California State University, said the predatory fish detections weren’t “terribly uncommon” and that climate change is the likely culprit for the uptick in sharks along the coast.
He added, “Much of this pattern is likely attributed to changing oceanographic conditions caused by climate change.”
 
Whats more interesting is the large group of tigers over on the aussie east coast :oops:

I live on the east coast, near the water. NYC and other areas have done a lot in the last couple decades to restore and protect its harbors and oceans. Wildlife that lived here 100 years ago is starting to come back. There have been seals spotted again, which is amazing! However with the return of food sources come the return of sharks. While not ideal for humans this is their home, they were here first, and they are a vital part of our eco system.
 
They are protesting.

they want their world back.

from the perspective of almost everything on this planet, the world would kinda be a better place if our species had like... stayed in the stone age and continued to live as one part of the world instead of turning into what we are and taking most of it over. (or maybe, if our species had not developed at all :> ).

We are kinda an outbreak. Outbreaks of stuff tend to collapse and die cuz it doesn't really work out well in the end. Just saying.

Lmao I left the shark tracker up and when I went to close it..I found this



Pretty sure that shark shouldn't be in the middle of the road :watching:

Maybe someone illegally fished it and there is an asian grocery store at that location or... okay did I really write that

lol! Kidnapped shark! Ngl my first thought was to zoom in to see what was around it. They have a neat function that tracks all ping locations and the last ping was in that road in 2017 but there was another zping(no location available) in 2019. So I assume he managed to cross the road safely :woot:
