Shark

There is so much to learn about these curious apex predators. Dive into this Discovery Lab where you'll learn all about shark anatomy, species, behavior, and conservation. William & Mary Batten School of Coastal & Marine Sciences graduate student and shark enthusiast, Paul Clerkin, will talk about his research on sharks and eDNA.

Discovery Labs are free, family-friendly programs provided each month by CBNERR-VA at VIMS. Designed with elementary-aged youth and their parents in mind, each lab focuses on a different topic related to the Chesapeake Bay and our local environment and includes exhibits, demonstrations, and hands-on activities as well as a short presentation (from 6:30-7:00 PM) by an expert on the topic.


Reservations to this event are required due to limited space.
