@Hiltontheshark has been hanging out in Nova Scotia all summer and most recently off of Cape Breton. Today, @OCEARCH has just tagged their first ever white shark in Canadian waters! @NovaTheShark. Nova is a male who’s just over 11ft long. @OCEARCH tagged him off the beautiful South Shore of Nova Scotia. #NovaScotiaExpedition. Earlier in September, Heather Bowlby, a researcher with the federal government's Bedford Institute of Oceanography in Halifax, said a three-metre juvenile male shark was satellite-tagged off southwest Nova Scotia by her team of researchers.
