Wanted: Adult Volunteers to Support Kid's Ocean Day Beach Cleanup May 16, 2023

The event has two exciting activities for the students. The first activity is a beach cleanup, which emphasizes the positive impact that each student can have on the environment. The second activity is an aerial art project. Hundreds of students, teachers, and volunteers will sit in formation on the beach to form an inspiring image. A helicopter will then fly overhead to capture the image of the students. The Marine Science Institute strives to connect children personally to their immediate outdoor spaces, as well as to the broader marine environment. Through programs like Adopt-A-Beach, children become empowered to protect their local natural areas and become environmental stewards. This program is grant-funded by the California Coastal Commission.
