It’s been the summer of sharks.
First it was Bella (a great white shark weighing more than 700 pounds) who was spotted near Quebec shores.
Then three sharks were tracked roaming the Gulf of St. Lawrence at the same time—two of them weighing over 700 pounds. Then three sharks became six.

Now, a white shark measuring almost 9 feet is on the move toward the St. Lawrence River as a number of sharks circle the Gulf.
How far up the St Lawrence do sharks go?
Located on the shores of the St. Lawrence River, Baie-Comeau is a city in the Côte-Nord region of the province of Quebec.
Brookes, a female white shark weighing 456 pounds, pinged August 18, 2026, at 8:03 a.m. near Baie-Comeau.
The newly tagged white shark measures 8 feet and 10 inches when she was tagged in September, 2025.
At the beginning of August, the Gulf of St. Lawrence was home to six tracked sharks, including a 13-foot white shark (carcharodon carcharias) weighing nearly 1,400 pounds.
As some sharks move closer to Quebec’s coastline, you can track them in real time with the Ocearch shark tracker link here.
