SharkStuff on the Radio!

20th January 2017 | by

We were so excited to be invited to talk about sharks on the radio!

SharkStuff on the Radio!

After the fantastic success of our recent Hengistbury Head eggcase hunt and beach clean, we were contacted by BBC Radio Solent and invited to come in for a brief chat about sharks. We were thrilled to be contacted, and Georgia braved an early and chilly start to join Steve Harris in the studio.

“I was so pleased to be given the opportunity to highlight that Dorset is home to a variety of shark species, and the fact that many of those species are at risk of extinction, and need our help” ~ Georgia.

Two common public misconceptions about sharks that we are passionate to change are that we don’t have sharks in the UK (especially in Dorset) and the hyped up notion that sharks are constantly targeting and biting humans at every opportunity.

“We don’t have rogue sharks; there aren’t sharks that decide that they like the taste of humans…”

Georgia talked about these issues, the effect of Jaws, her first shark encounter, and informed the audience that SharkStuff are offering free talks on sharks to schools, universities, clubs, groups and organisations in Dorset; as well as running free eggcase hunts and beach cleans on local beaches.

You can listen to her full interview here between 2:10 and 2:16.

If you would like to book a talk, we’d love to hear from you and if you would like to take part in an eggcase hunt, keep an eye on our Facebook page for event announcements!
