DOOVER IN NEW JERSEY LEAVES 
SOME RELIEVED AND OTHERS 
FUMING. 
>> AND FIRST A GREAT WHITE 
SHARK SCARE. 
THE FIRST TIME A GREAT WHITE 
HAS BEEN FOUND IN THE LONG 
ISLAND SOUND. 
>> HERE'S EYEWITNESS NEWS 
REPORTER JIM DOLAN. 
>> REPORTER: SOMEWHERE OUT 
THERE IN THE LONG ISLAND SOUND 
IS CABOT, A GREAT WHITE SHARK, 
THE FIRST EVER SEEN THERE, 
THOUGH AT 10 FEET LONG AND 500 
POUNDS, HE'D BE HARD TO 
MISS NOW. 
OH, YEAH. 
YOU'RE GOING TO NEED A BIGGER 
BOAT. 
>> HE'S ON HIS WAY UP TO CAPE 
COD WOULD BE MY BEST GUESS. 
THERE'S A PRETTY BIG SEAL 
POPULATION UP THERE UP IN 
MAINE. 
>> REPORTER: DAVID HUDSON IS 
WITH THE MARITIME AQUARIUM IN 
CONNECTICUT WHERE EVERYONE IS 
EXCITED ABOUT CABOT WHO WAS 
TAGGED AND TRACKED TO THE 
SOUND IN RECENT DAYS. 
HE SAYS HE'S PROBABLY DOING 
PRETTY WELL THERE. 
>> THEIR NUMBER ONE FOOD 
SOURCE IS SEALS. 
THE MARITIME AQUARIUM HAS BEEN 
RESPONDING TO SEAL CALLS ALL 
WINTER, SO THERE'S PROBABLY 
FOOD ON THE WAY UP. 
>> REPORTER: AND CABOT 
SHOULDN'T SCARE YOU. 
HE BRINGS GOOD NEWS. 
JUST THAT THERE ARE SEALS FOR 
THIS GREAT WHITE SHARK TO 
FEAST ON IS A GOOD SIGN THAT 
THE WATER IS CLEANING UP, BUT 
THERE ARE OTHER SIGNS AS WELL. 
THERE HAVE BEEN WHALE 
SIGHTINGS IN THE SOUND THREE 
YEARS IN A ROW, AND A CERTAIN 
KIND OF TURTLE THAT HASN'T 
BEEN SEEN IN YEARS IS BACK. 
ALL SIGNS THAT THE WATER HERE 
IS GETTING CLEANER AND 
HEALTHIER. 
>> THAT MEANS THERE'S A FOOD 
SOURCE THERE FOR THEM, WHICH 
TELLS US A LITTLE BIT MORE 
ABOUT HOW THE SOUND IS 
RECOVERING, ABOUT HOW THE 
LITTLE ACTIONS THAT WE'RE 
DOING ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE.
