Join Ocean Wise for an engaging presentation about ocean conservation and the many ways we can help protect our ocean.

This interactive session will highlight Ocean Wise’s work in whale conservation, seaforestation, sustainable seafood, shoreline cleanups, plastic pollution research, youth volunteering, education, and ocean literacy. Participants will explore how healthy ocean ecosystems connect to our daily lives and how people of all ages can make a difference.

The session will also include hands-on artifact stations with marine mammal and Pacific Northwest species materials, offering a chance to ask questions, share stories, and connect with Ocean Wise educators in a welcoming, conversation-based setting.
