Our flagship citizen science project continues to expand as we welcome new recorders from around the world.

Something as simple as kicking through the strandline on a beach can lead to valuable data that helps shark conservation. Thanks to our citizen scientists, we’ve already collected over 300,000 eggcase records. As it grows, the project needs support to make sure we’re providing the best experience for our recorders. And ensuring that all the data is put to good use.

Find out more about this fantastic project and how you can get involved here.

A donation to support the Great Eggcase Hunt will be placed in a fund that helps us keeps the project moving forward. In the coming years we want to:

  • Improve our online recording portal

  • Improve and expand our smartphone App to new languages and regions

  • Expand “Underwater Eggcases” working with SCUBA divers and snorkellers

  • Build a global eggcase guide

Your support is really appreciated and will help the Great Eggcase Hunt go form strength to strength.

    In the before times here at NUPG, we would buy our monthly guest speaker a curry and pay for their petrol. Now we offer them some cash and encourage them to donate it to their favourite marine-related charity. This month we are delighted that Harry Stone has nominated the Shark Trust to receive his donation.
