Shark Soiree – A Week Swarming with Shark Activities at Museum of Coastal Carolina
Join the Museum of Coastal Carolina for a week swarming with shark activities that will inspire curiosity and raise awareness of one of the coast’s most feared ocean creatures Aug. 4 through Aug. 8.
Should humans fear or revere sharks? Determine whether these ocean predators are simply misunderstood. The Museum and its Shark Soiree partners will try to answer those questions.
Visit our craft and education stations throughout the Museum galleries to make your own shark fin hat, sort shark fact from fiction, play the shark tooth matching game and design your own shark. You can also join the Sharky Scavenger Hunt and more.

Aug 4
Science in 3D: Sharks @ 1pm

Sandbar Lecture – Shark Tooth Hunting in Ocean Isle and Beyond with Ashley Oliphant @ 5:30pm
