Explore Your Shore, June 2025
LET’S EXPLORE YOUR SHORE, JUNE-2025

How did we get on in June?
Our June Explore Your Shore focused on Bivalves and Coastal Flora, but we could not resist checking some rocks just to see what’s around. We also checked on the health of the small seagrass patch, and it is still thriving!

It was a challenging month for Explore Your Shore, as wind and rain put a stop to many of the experiences.

We look forward to the next Explore Your Shore and hope you can join us.
It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see. Henry David Thoreau

There are so many resources and roles available for all walkers to learn about Explore Your Shore.

About Galway Atlantaquaria, and Explore Your Shore
Galway Atlantaquaria, is Ireland’s largest native species Aquarium in the heart of Sathill, Galway City. Our goal is to engage, educate, and inspire people to protect our most vulnerable biodiversity and ecosystems. The reason we support Explore Your Shore is to try and record every species that lives in Grattan Beach, so we can track these populations, identify vulnerable species, share high-quality images, share knowledge (and learn from our rockpool community), encourage others to champion Explore Your Shore, and finally have fun.
