A sub-adult great white shark measuring nearly 10 feet long has been tracked in Long Island Sound off the Connecticut shore for the first time ever, marine researchers said on Monday.

The great white was being tracked Monday by the ocean research group Ocearch, which has been tracking the shark since last year, Chris Fischer, founder of the research group, told ABC News.

"Be advised! For the first time ever, we are tracking a white shark in the Long Island Sound," Ocearch researchers tweeted Monday.

Fischer said the shark measures 9-feet 8-inches and was spotted off the shore of Greenwich, Connecticut.

"He was right up on the beach, very close," Fischer told ABC News.

3. I'm surprised this is news

there has been a number of them off of Cape Cod for years and 1 or 2 attacks last summer. It has to do with the seal population. More seals, more great whites.

4. Maybe because it's in The Sound. I know they are out there off Montauk point but they are saying

this is the first sighting in The Sound.
