Create your own Shark Week! Check out the resources below to learn more about sharks and their teeth in the James River and Chesapeake Bay. Some of these links talk about finding sharks teeth along beaches, if you do venture out, please pay attention to current restrictions. Many beaches are closed and our public spaces can only be used for exercise. Practice social distancing and stay safe!
This doesn’t mean you can’t have shark week at home! Parents – share photos or videos of your child’s shark week with us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.
