PEOPLE have been invited to learn how to hunt for shark egg cases and how to identify them at a beach-side event.
The Eggcase Hunt is taking place in Walney on Saturday, July 31 between 1pm and 3pm organised by The Bay.
Attendees will meet at the Round House Hub and Café where they will be shown shark egg cases from different species.
There will then be a 5-minute walk to the beach where, with the help of guides, people will search for shark egg cases on the shore.
A spokesperson for the event said: "The Irish Sea is home to lots of shark species – but don’t worry, they’re all harmless. In fact, the sharks need our help. They are facing various threats, from marine litter to abandoned fishing gear. One of the ways we can help shark species is to monitor their numbers by counting shark eggs."
This event is suitable for all ages and no prior knowledge is required.
