The massive shark pinged off the coast of New Jersey in April 2022, before making its way south and pinging again off the coast of Virginia in November. 

According to OCEARCH, Atlantic great white sharks move in predictable annual migration patterns, spending summers and falls in areas around New England and Atlantic Canada. They then head for warmer waters near the American southeast and Gulf of Mexico.

It total, OCEARCH has tracked Ironbound for 796 days and logged the massive shark traveling 15,186 miles.
