How Can You Help?

SEARCH - IDENTIFY - PHOTO – RECORD

Eggcase hunting is great fun for all ages! It also gets a little bit competitive and is certainly addictive!

You can find everything you need to get started on our website. You can also download our app - this has a step-by-step ID key, which makes identifying eggcases a breeze.

Found Nothing? We'd still like to know

Ian's Shark Trust Fundraiser

Sharks have lived in our oceans for over 400 million years.
But, today, many species are under threat. Almost 1/4 of all shark species worldwide are now threatened with extinction. That makes them one of the most endangered groups of animals on our planet!
