0861 - Sharks and Rays 101

Marine Extension and Georgia Sea Grant - Marine Education Center and Aquarium

Did you know that clearnose skates lay delicate egg cases commonly called mermaid’s purses? During this virtual program, marine educators will show you a mermaid’s purse and baby skates at the UGA Aquarium. Learn about the incredible diversity of sharks around the word before exploring why local shark and ray species are so important in Georgia’s waters and what you can do as a recreational angler to help conserve them.

This virtual program is free and open to the public but pre-registration is required. To request captioning services for this event, contact Public Programs Coordinator, Kayla Clark at kayla270@uga.edu or 912-598-3345 by April 5.
