Celebrating Oceans of Opportunity
ENGAGE
Visit our Engage tent for oceans of opportunity to engage in ocean conservation! Adults and children alike are encouraged to climb their way through perilous ocean debris as they navigate through a ghost net in our open ocean area, rescue their own sea turtle using the latest of rehabilitation techniques, analyze field samples for environmental contaminants and take what they've learned and share it with friends, family and their community.

CHOOSE
You have oceans of opportunity to choose to be a part of a more sustainable future at our Choose Tent. Speak with LMC's conservation team as they sort trash collected off of local beaches and learn some of the the most current and staggering statistics on marine debris before you test your knowledge in a Choose to Reuse activity. Don't forget to decorate a free, reusable bag to keep in your car for your next grocery run.
