During June, we focused on Bivalves and Coastal Flora, but we cannot resist the beauty of Blennies.

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.

The Cuttlebones on the shore caused a huge buzz of excitement!

We look forward to the next Explore Your Shore and hope you can join us.

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.
