Summer has arrived at last!  What better time to get out to the beach and get involved in the Shark Trust's Great Eggcase Hunt. This is a fantastic way to explore and enjoy the UK’s beautiful coastal environment. Its also an extremely important source of information on the whereabouts of shark, skate and ray nursery grounds!

 

If your group or organisation is running an Eggcase Hunt, drop us a line and tell us all about it!  To see if theres an Eggcase Hunt running in your area check out the Shark Trusts Events Calendar!

 

Use our online ID guides to figure out which shark, skate or ray eggcases are found.  And don't forget the online recording form for the all-important ‘when, where and why’ details - the Shark Trust will enter it all on to the UK’s only dedicated eggcase database.


Attention all divers: Have you seen an underwater eggcase?

  
If you're spending time underwater this summer why not keep an eye out for underwater eggcases!  Never easy to spot - often camoflagued with seaweed, sand and gravel - the presence of underwater, in-situ eggcases can be indicative of a nursery area for sharks, skates and rays.

If you're lucky - and eagle-eyed - enough to spot an underwater eggcase, please submit all the details to the Shark Trust - including any photos.  Find out MORE...

IMPORTANT: Please don't disturb underwater eggcases - they contain a live shark, skate or ray which may have been incubating for up to 12 months!
