June 7th: World Ocean Day Celebration

Sunday is our main celebration day, packed with interactive activities for the whole family. Join us for a day of learning, art, and community action:

12pm – Welcome & Intro: We kick off the celebration with an opening introduction and a special conservation video screening.

Beach Clean Up: Help us keep our local shores pristine. If you just bring your own gloves, we’ll take care of the rest.

Seine Net Demonstration: Get a close-up look at local marine life as our team demonstrates traditional seine netting and shares insights about the incredible creatures living just off our shores.

Animal Feeding in the Aquarium: After the beach clean up and seine net, support the aquarium by purchasing admission to see a public animal feeding! You might get to see Opal the Octopus.

3pm – 4pm – Tidepools Art Show & Auction: Explore the final hours of the 70+ unique works of art and place your final bids before it closes. This community fundraiser raises vital funds for hands-on marine education and stewardship.
