The shark has been spotted up and down the Atlantic coast over the years, according to the Asbury Park Press.
The 16-foot-long, 3,456-pound shark was tagged in 2012 off Cape Cod, according to Osearch. She has traveled 34,175 miles since then.
The shark is named after researcher Chris Fischer's mother, according to Osearch.
