The Maine Marine Patrol continued patrolling the coastal waters around Harpswell and urging beachgoers and others to use extra caution following the state’s first fatal shark attack. A seasonal resident of Bailey Island in Harpswell was killed Monday by a great white shark that attacked her as she swam 20 yards from shore. The Maine Marine Patrol is using boats and aircraft to scan the Casco Bay region for sharks, but had not reported any additional shark sightings in the area as of Wednesday afternoon.
