The white shark, who measures seven feet and weighs 182 pounds, is being tracked by a nonprofit organization that monitors and tracks sharks called OCEARCH.

Her dorsal fin surfaced long enough that it was detected by a satellite around 7:15 on Thursday, May 26 off the coast of Norfolk, OCEARCH's shark tracker shows.

Martha was the fourth white shark tagged by OCEARCH's expedition to Martha's Vineyard in 2020.
