Data from OCEARCH has shown that the Atlantic continental shelf waters off the coasts of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida are a winter 'hot spot' for white sharks.
Its research has shown that the Atlantic continental shelf waters off the coasts of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida arefor white sharks—so much so that the area is now being referred to as the Northwest Atlantic Shared Foraging Area, or NASFA for short.
"The body of colder water trapped between the Gulf Stream and the coast is a key feature of this region," Bryan Franks, Assistant Professor of Marine Science at Jacksonville University and OCEARCH collaborating scientist, said in"This 'wedge' of cold water extends from the Outer Banks in North Carolina down to Cape Canaveral in Florida. This feature results in a range of water temperatures in a relatively short horizontal distance from the coast out to the Gulf Stream.
OCEARCH's research has shown that almost all Northwest Atlantic sharks appear to visit the region during their migrations, primarily in the winter. It has drawn comparisons to the Farallon Islands and Guadalupe Island to a Shared Foraging Area —orGreat white sharks are migrating down the east coast of the U.S. in time for winter.
