European Shark Week takes place from October 11 to 18 and this year the Galway Atlanaquaria will hold a shark day workshop to demonstrate that sharks aren’t just vicious killers from Hollywood movies but important, interesting creatures that need to be conserved.
The one day workshop aims to teach children about the sharks that live in the waters around Ireland, how they find their food and use their senses, how they stay afloat, and the dangers they face to stay alive.
Children will carry out experiments in the Explorer’s Laboratory and visit the aquarium to get a closer look at the sharks that live in Salthill.
For more information on Shark Week and other exciting upcoming workshops contact the aquarium on 091-585100 or visit our website on www.nationalaquarium.ie
