In the past few months, a string of shark attacks has been reported across the US. Just when one may think it's safe to go back into the sea and swim another attack comes in. Four great white sharks were spotted over three days off the New England coast amid a spate of horrifying attacks along the Eastern Seaboard. The four apex predator sightings were recorded from Cape Cod using the Sharktivity app, which is based in Massachusetts and tracks great white sharks' activity.
