Shark Shacks
This Summer 2026, the Shark Lab is hosting Shark Shacks at various beaches along Southern California every week to help build an appreciation for sharks by reducing fear and informing the public about sharks and other marine life they may encounter at the beach. We will have information and activities for all ages.
