We’re Going On A Shark Hunt!

Join SharkLab LiVE! for a 6 day Eggpedition this Easter 2023, along beautiful sandy beaches of Sandown, which is part of the Bembridge Marine Conservation Zone. (From 8th - 15th April 2023)

During each day’s 2-3.5hr eggpedition, we will hunt for empty Shark Eggs, to help identify which Shark Pups have hatched in around the island this Spring.

Data collected will help scientists to monitor the health or decline of these special sharks that live around the Isle of Wight.

Suitable for families, pushchairs and those with mobility challenges
