Mary Lee The Shark Spends Some Time Down The Shore

Mary Lee, a 3,500-pound great white shark that was tagged by OCEARCH in September 2012, is apparently traveling north after being pinged near Assateague Island, which is off the Maryland-Virginia coast.

"It's probably exciting for a lot of people," Rehoboth Beach Patrol Capt. Kent Buckson told Delmarva Now. "It's a famous, rather large great white shark that I believe has been tracked for several years."
