Audience: Family
Come and join the Marine Institute's Explorers team with your friends and family for a fin-tastic time building some amazing shark and mermaid's sand sculptures as part of a coast-to-coast challenge from Donegal to Dublin.
The event, which is being held on the 25th of May at 12.30pm on Tramore Strand, is part of the Bealtaine Living Earth Festival, and European Maritime Day in My Country. Jai Tuohy, from Oceanics Surf and Education Centre, who delivers the Explorers School modules in Co. Waterford, will lead the event, which will start from outside the Lifeguard Station.
During the event we will look for evidence of mermaids and their purses (aka shark & skate egg cases) on the shore as well as learning more about some of the amazing sharks in Irish waters and around the world. We will also carry out a seashore walk and litter pick challenge. Spot prizes will be given out on the day to the winning shark and mermaids sand sculptures. Prizes are provided by the Marine Institute’s Explorers Education Programme.
RDV at 12:30 PM at Lifeguard station, Tramore beach
FREE event, BOOKING essential.
