Great Shark Snapshot meets Shark Week + Jaws

UK-based charity the Shark Trust is always pleased to receive photo and video contributions from divers and snorkellers to reinforce its shark and ray database, but for the past three summer it has formalised the process by announcing a Great Shark Snapshot week – and 2025 will be no exception.

The fourth such citizen-science event is set for the last week of July (19-27) – which also happens to coincide with Discovery Channel’s Shark Week, which kicks off on 20 July (on Discovery+ in the UK) and, on the same day, the 50th anniversary of the release of that controversial film Jaws.
