The second of five satellite tags attached to great white sharks off Chatham last summer has surfaced off Jacksonville, Fla., according to Lisa Capone, a spokeswoman at the state Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs.
The five tags are programmed to release from the sharks at intervals between five and 10 months after they were attached. Capone said the latest one popped to the surface on Feb. 4, within 30 miles of the first tag, which was located on Jan. 15 about 50 miles east of Jacksonville. The last tag is expected to release in May, she said.
Each tag is worth thousands of dollars. They were attached to the sharks using a harpoon in September.
