Did you know that a group of sharks is called a shiver? And did you know that there are nearly 500 species of shark found worldwide? File those facts away for the shark-themed trivia taking place as part of a conservation fundraiser in Atlantic Beach.

Scheduled for 5:30-8 p.m. Wednesday, July 10, at Crystal Coast Brewing Co. in Atlantic Beach, Suds for Sharks is a family-friendly event highlighting shark conservation and research.
In addition to trivia, there will be a silent auction with shark-themed items donated by local artists, and an exclusive sand tiger shark-themed beer. The brewery will donate $1 from every shark-themed beer sold to conservation projects. Tanja’s Hella Fat Food of New Bern will also be on-site.
“Events like Suds for Sharks is a way that we can bring the community together for a great conservation cause,” said Emily Fessler, aquarium education curator. “The more we can learn about and understand sharks, the better we’re able to protect these animals and their habitat to help them not only survive but thrive for future generations.”
All donations will go to the nonprofit North Carolina Aquarium Society to support the North Carolina Aquarium Conservation Action Committee’s shark conservation projects for shark field research, outreach, and conservation.
“We’re grateful for community partners like Crystal Coast Brewing Company who are able to get involved in conservation efforts and help make events like Suds for Sharks a fun experience,” Fessler said.
