July 17, 2013 — Six great white sharks have been spotted in the ocean near the remote Monomoy islands off Chatham.
All the sharks were spotted by George Breen, a pilot for Cape Cod Shark Hunters.
The area of Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge near where the sharks were spotted is usually only accessible by boat, after a newly formed inlet cut off foot access to many of the beaches, said Dave Brownlie, Monomoy refuge manager. No beaches at the refuge were closed due to the sightings.
