A juvenile great white shark that weighs more than 500 pounds and carries a satellite tag — nicknamed Penny — "pinged" off Ocean City early Monday morning. The shark is the latest OCEARCH -tagged great white, or simply white shark, to swim into New Jersey's coastal waters this spring during the sharks' annual northern migration. While OCEARCH's global shark tracker does not pinpoint the exact location, Penny appeared to be close inshore to Ocean City when her tag transmitted at about 6:30 a.m.
