ATLANTIC CITY — Mary Lee, a nearly 3,500-pound great white shark, is back at the Jersey Shore.

After swimming off the coast at different times last year, Mary Lee is back to snack in the waters off Atlantic City, according to Ocearch.org, which is monitoring her movements with a global positioning system tracker.

The 16-foot, 3,456-pound shark was tagged by researchers in 2012 off Cape Cod, and since then has swam more than 34,000 miles, according to Ocearch.org, which collects information on sharks in an effort to protect the animals.

On Friday, Mary Lee surfaced less than 40 miles off the coast of Atlantic City, according to the organization.
