Did you know that the European Eel (Anguilla anguilla) is a critically endangered species?
After a successful first ever World Eel Day 2023, with live events in four countries, two continents and messages of support reaching thousands of people from all corners of the globe, we are preparing for World Eel Day 2024.
The day aims to raise awareness of the eel as a species, from the European Eel, to eels all over the world. Find out why eels are important, why they are endangered and how we can protect them.
We are supporting World Eel Day by hosting a pop-up shop on the ground floor of the Roland Levinsky Building where you will be able to buy all sorts of eel inspired art.
