Eggcase Hunt

Come & join us hunting the strandline for Mermaid's purses! We'll be hunting for shark, skate & ray eggcases on the beach!

At least 21 species of skate, ray and shark are found in UK waters and as some species will lay eggs all year round.

We want to find out what species might have been laying their eggs in the Irish Sea, so come along and become a citizen scientist by collecting and recording the eggcases you find. We submit all your data to help The Shark Trust with important marine conservation.

Please note: There are currently no toilets at this location, so please use the facilities elsewhere before attending the event - Thank you.
