Who Is Mary Lee
Mary Lee is a large female great white shark tracked by OCEARCH. She was first tagged off the coast of Florida in 2012 and has since been monitored as she moves along the U.S. Atlantic coast.
How the Mary Lee Tracker Works
The Mary Lee tracker uses satellite tags attached by OCEARCH researchers to record location data. The system transmits positions when the shark surfaces, allowing scientists and the public to follow her migrations in near real time.
Why Mary Lee Matters for Research
Tracking Mary Lee helps researchers study great white shark movement, habitat use, and seasonal patterns. This data supports conservation efforts and improves understanding of apex predator behavior in coastal waters.
