Ocean Day 2012
Our 8th Annual Ocean Day will be taking place on Thursday, June 7th 2012
Ocean Day is a marine debris education program funded by a Whale Tail Grant from the California Coastal Commission, and coordinated locally by Friends of the Dunes and the Bureau of Land Management. About 1,000 Humboldt County students will receive classroom lessons focusing on the health of coastal and marine environments. On June 7th these students will gather at the Mike Thompson Wildlife Area on the South Spit of the Humboldt Bay for a day of beach clean-up and invasive plant removal. After all this hard work, students will sit in an aerial art design while a plane flies over to capture the image. This program is completely free for schools, even the buses are paid for.
To sign up your class, or to volunteer email suzie@friendsofthedunes.org or call 707-444-1397.
