The agency’s tracking system indicated that four of the sharks can be found in the northeast area, while two more are in the southwest ocean region of Florida.
Six seems like a lot, but the agency says water temperatures are ideal right now.
Three of the six were tracked in one similar location off the coast of Jacksonville, where water temperatures are 65 to 67 degrees.
The six sharks are named Nova, Sydney, Cabot, Ironbound, Unama’ki and Hudson. They each have trackers so Ocearch can map their migration patterns.
