Over 1,000 school children visited the SharkLab’s ROV displays and mini sea trugs filled with shark eggs and seaweed. Blue Seas Protection divers joined up with Project Seagrass to collect seeds across two locations.

The Great Shark Snapshot Week followed, where Blue Seas Protection’s Dive and Research Vessel ‘Coastal Protector’ welcomed divers onboard to hunt for sharks around the Isle of Wight. No sharks were caught on film, but hatchling shark ray pups and seagrass were sighted off Osborne Bay!
