Pupils from Claddagh National School have participated in the Big Shell Survey at Grattan Beach this afternoon.

Galway Atlantaquaria organised the event to find the under-recorded seashells as part of ‘Love Your Beach Week’.

The survey helps scientists understand the ocean’s health, levels of marine biodiversity and the impact of climate change.
