Pick a shark and track it as it moves around the ocean:http://sharks-ocearch.verite.com/

Watch out for Mary Lee! She's a Great White who has made her way south from Cape Cod over the last couple of months and it looks like she's headed straight for Florida.

Those are only the sharks with an active "ping" of 72 hours or less. I count 36 total.

They all appear to be Great Whites, though.

That is cool. I knew they had been tagging those baddies but to make it available for everyone is too cool.
