Great White Shark Recovered From Southampton Beach - The Fisherman

Great White Shark Recovered From Southampton Beach

ECO Della Rocco received a call from the Southampton bay constable of a shark on the beach off Dune Road in Southampton. Initial inspections by DEC biologists indicated the same shark had been spotted the day before in the same location before washing back out to sea. Officer Della Rocco assisted the bay constable in removing the shark from the beach. The shark was approximately 6.5 feet in length and weighed about 250 pounds. DEC Marine Resources employees secured the animal for necropsy and additional testing. Necropsy results showed no obvious signs of mortality. Pathology results are pending.
