Learn about the importance of protecting our oceans and marine life while participating in fun activities, including ocean-themed crafts, touch tanks, pilot an underwater robot, tour a fisheries patrol vessel and much more.
From June 1-8, numerous virtual activities will highlight citizen science, marine species and local ocean heroes through songs, recitations, and spectacular coastal drone footage. Find all the information you need via the World Oceans Day N.L. Facebook page or on Instagram.
