Ripple, a subadult great white shark tracked by OCEARCH, made an impressive journey in just a week, heading up the coast of Canada<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tagged in September 2025 off the coast of Nova Scotia by Tancook Islands Marine Field Station in collaboration with OCEARCH, Ripple was 11 feet, 6 inches long and weighed 778 pounds.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the time since, the white shark has made quite the trek, traveling more than 8,000 miles all the way down the East Coast, around Florida<\/a> and deep into the Gulf before coming all the way back to Canada.\u00a0<\/p>\n

OCEARCH said the white shark’s latest ping puts Ripple about 45 miles off the coast of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, and the shark tops the leaderboard for most miles traveled in the last week with 354 miles.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Currently, Ripple is further north than he’s ever been tracked by OCEARCH. And the nonprofit said he could make two different moves next.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He could continue northeast, up around Newfoundland, or he could venture northwest into the Gulf of St. Lawrence, which OCEARCH said is an important feeding place for white sharks like Ripple.\u00a0<\/p>\n
