Researchers catch sharks off the Hamptons, attaching trackers to toothy predators

By Big New York · 09/01/2026 · Updated 09/01/2026

Researchers are catching a wide range of sharks off Long Island and outfitting them with small trackers as they seek to understand more about one of the world’s few confirmed great white shark nurseries. Does it seem like there have been more reports of shark sightings at New York City beaches recently? Well, there have.

For New York readers, the important questions are what this story changes, who is affected, what remains uncertain, and whether official records or public responses support the claims being discussed.

BigNY links to the original media report so readers can review the reporting directly. When official records, agency pages, court filings, audits, or public statements are available, they should be read alongside the media account for full context.
