 Underwater Eggcase Hunting |
Results from the Great Eggcase Hunt have given us a pretty  good understanding of where eggcases wash up around our coastline. Now it is time to link the beach records with actual nursery grounds on the seabed.
The Shark Trust is asking divers to keep their eyes open for eggcases in situ on the seabed. Remember to take only photographs as the eggcases are likely to still have developing embryos inside!

The Shark Trust is encouraging divers to look  out for eggcases on the seabed. So, next time you are out diving, look out for eggcases wrapped around seaweed or partially buried under sandy or gravelly substrates. If we can find out how well the distribution of eggcases on the shore matches their appearance underwater it will go a long way to help us recommend management measures for the conservation of skates and rays. |

 Remember that the eggcases you come across whilst diving are likely to still be viable so please don't touch or remove them. However we would like to hear about what you have found and also see your photographs....submit your images online here. |
