On Tuesday, he reappeared between Georgetown and McClellanville, the State reports. In addition, an eight-foot shark named Savannah pinged off the coast of Myrtle Beach. The 460-pound shark was first marked off the coast of Hilton Head on March 5. She was named after the people of Savannah, Ga. OCEARCH is a nonprofit research organization that monitors the migratory patterns of sharks. After the sharks were first captured, a satellite tag that sends coordinates of their position whenever they break the water’s surface was attached and they were released.
