Shark Week activities have included story and craft time, shark drawing lessons, shark story time and concludes Friday at the Tybee Island Marine Science Center classroom for a presentation by Doug Duch about Megalodon, followed by a walk on the beach to look for fossil shark teeth.

The Discovery Channel began airing its annual Shark Week in 1988. It has become one of the most popular summer shows, so, back in 2022, the Georgia Southern Museum decided to create a local version of Shark Week.
