Just in time for Shark Week, shark sightings off the coast of Massachusetts -- and Maine! -- have begun to rise in recent weeks and days.

In the past two days alone, there have been over a dozen great white sightings. Most of them are off Cape Cod, and shark buoys stationed off the coast have captured some incredible images in recent days.

Here's a look at some of the recent images posted to the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy's Sharktivity app:

This shark, named Paulie, was detected at a shark buoy off Cape Cod shortly after 7 p.m. Wednesday.
Granese was detected around 10:30 p.m. on Thursday off the Cape. It has been detected four times at the same buoy.
Sharkuterie (get it?) was detected around 2 a.m. on Thursday
Kendel was detected around 7 a.m. on Wednesday.
Warren was last detected around 3 a.m. Friday.

Earlier this week, a Maine woman captured some incredible (and graphic) photos of a great white shark feeding on a seal off the coast of Maine.

Sue Fontaine said she shot the photos on Sunday off Whitehead Island Lighthouse in Tenants Harbor, Maine.
