the ocean sunfish and the basking shark, two very unusual fish that migrate
great distances to summer in the waters off <st1:place>Cape Cod</st1:place>. Learn about
their travels as they filter copepods at or near the water’s surface. Find out
how you can get involved by reporting your sightings of these large coastal
pelagic fish - live or dead - to Krill through NEBShark, a community-sighting
network. Learn why they strand and how you can help save them.<o:p></o:p></p>
