July will see the return of the Shark Trust’s citizen science initiative: The Great Shark Snapshot. It encourages divers and snorkellers, all around the world, to record the sharks and rays that they see during a 1-week period. This year it takes place between the 18th and 26th July. And the Shark Trust are asking you to dive in!
The event is back for its 5th year, and it is happening in “Shark Month”, more commonly known as July! To coincide with a series of events that celebrate all things shark and ray.
The film screening will be part of “Shark Month”, where the Shark Trust host a number of events in Plymouth and, this year, Bristol too. Visitors will be invited to celebrate and support the vital work of the Shark Trust while enjoying a month-long extravaganza of shark and ray science, entertainment and advocacy.
The UK Premiere of Shark Town, a new documentary film by Richard Peirce, will be hosted by the Shark Trust at the Megascreen in Bristol in July. Attendees will also get the chance to chat to the writer, Richard, at a special live Q&A after the film.

If you donate £10, the Shark Trust will receive £20 for the Great Eggcase Hunt. Give £100 and it instantly becomes £200, and so on. So, you can double your impact for one of the most popular marine citizen science projects!
This match funding is made possible thanks to the Big Give Earth Raise campaign: the UK’s largest collaborative environmental fundraising campaign.
A new partnership between the Shark Trust and BSAC is calling on divers to help identify where sharks and skates lay their eggs—an often hidden stage of their life cycle.
The Shark Trust has launched a collaboration with the British Sub-Aqua Club (BSAC), encouraging divers and snorkellers to contribute to ongoing citizen science initiatives aimed at improving knowledge of egg-laying shark and skate species.
