Eggcase Hunt

[tugmistress]

Go on a Skate & Ray eggcase hunt for the Shark Trust.

 

Why does the Shark Trust want you to record eggcases? In recent decades several species of skate and ray around the British coast have dramatically declined in numbers. The empty eggcases that wash up on to our beaches all year round are an easily accessible source of information on the whereabouts of skate and ray nursery grounds.

 

The identification of these critical areas will enable the Shark Trust to propose conservation measures, in order to reverse the decline of these charismatic animals.

 

So now’s your chance to contribute to skate and ray conservation, and take part in Britain’s first ever eggcase hunt

 

If you want more info (and no one did it in the North East last year and hardly any in scotland from what i can gather) and fancy an hour or so beach combing go to their site www.sharktrust.org/eggcase for info.

 

I am organising a couple up here, lets see if we can help them out
