Become a citizen scientist for the day, and join us for an EGG-citing Shark Egg Case Hunt on Friday 1st August 2025 from 11am-1pm at Spurn Point Nature Reserve, in partnership with the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust! This event is FREE of charge for both adults and children to take part.
Help us by getting involved and raising awareness of our native sharks and rays. Data recorded from these events is submitted to The Shark Trust as part of their Great Eggcase Hunt campaign, helping to pin-point exactly where sharks and skates are laying on the UK coastline and build a clearer understanding of species presence and diversity.
