From a shiver of white sharks spotted off Brewster to a tagged white shark with a mouthful of a name, over two dozen of these animals were spotted around Cape Cod over the last week.

Since Friday, Aug. 1, the Chatham-based Atlantic White Shark Conservancy has cataloged around 29 white shark sightings around Cape Cod, along with two signs of shark predation.

Two tagged sharks made separate appearances around the Cape between Wednesday and Thursday, according to the conservancy’s shark-tracking app Sharktivity . One of them was a 10-foot-long male white shark named Quadrilateral, first tagged on Sept. 12, 2023. He was detected off North Beach Island and Chatham at around 9:23 p.m. on Aug. 6.

One minute later, off Maguire Landing Beach in Wellfleet, the tagged shark Pearl was detected.
