Aquarium to help sharks

DEEP Sea World in North Queensferry has joined a continent-wide campaign aimed at raising awareness of the threats faced by sharks in European waters.

The aquarium will host European Shark Week from Saturday to next Friday, to dispel many of the popular misconceptions about sharks.

As well as coming face-to-face with live sharks, visitors will be able to visit the shark nursery and take part in quizzes and competitions.
