Join us for an Eggcase Hunt! We’ll be finding eggcases from shark species. Chocolate eggs available as prizes! Book your place at https://www.thebay.org.uk/events/2024-07-31-eggcase-huntThe Irish sea is home to lots of shark species – but don’t worry, they’re all harmless! In fact, the sharks need our help. They are facing various threats, from marine litter to abandoned fishing gear. One of the ways we can help shark species is to monitor their numbers by counting shark eggs.
Lots of shark species lay eggs. When the pup (baby shark) hatches, the eggcase often washes up on the beach. By finding and recording these eggcases and submitting the data to the Shark Trust, we can help monitor shark numbers.
In the Round House, you will be shown shark eggcases from different species. There will then be a 5 minute walk to the beach where, with the help of our friendly guides, you will search for shark eggcases on the shore. We'll then swap your shark eggs for chocolate eggs!
This event is suitable for all ages and no prior knowledge is required.
