## Caption

Shark eggs, often called “mermaid’s purses” are tough, leathery cases that protect developing baby sharks until they’re ready to hatch. Many species lay these eggs in rocky crevices or among seaweed to keep them safe.

Incredible to see someone step in to help protect one every life counts in the ocean 🌊🦈
