Atlantic White Shark Conservancy Hosts Shark Biology Workshop – CapeCod.com News

CHATHAM Join the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy for the JAWsome hands-on learning opportunity.

The Conservancy is hosting an Introduction to Shark Biology Workshop in July and August at The Boathouse at Pleasant Bay Community Boating.

What makes sharks unlike other animals? What characteristics do they have that enable them to hunt so well? Swim so fast?

Learn the basics of shark biology and develop an understanding of their anatomy by participating in the workshop.

Youth will participate in several learning labs, and end the workshop by participating in a spiny dogfish shark dissection.

The workshop will run on several dates over the course of the summer to provide an opportunity for locals and visitors to be immersed in shark biology.

The age range for the event is youth entering grades 4-7.

The cost is $25 per participant and runs from 1-4:30 p.m. on July 7 and 28, and August 11 and 25.

Youth should wear clothes that are comfortable and that will be okay if they get dirty.

The program will be on the beach where they can be barefoot, but it will not be water-based.

Youth are asked to bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated, as well as a snack to enjoy midafternoon.
