The Museum of Coastal Carolina will celebrate marine mammals and their preservation during a week-long celebration of World Ocean Day on June 8, leading to World Sea Turtle Day on June 16. Guests of the Museum can experience a number of special programs and activities throughout those days and can even make a difference themselves by participating in a World Ocean Day Beach Sweep.
Oceans cover 71% of the Earth’s surface so the world celebrates them annually to connect the global ocean community, inspire curiosity about oceans, and educate the public about the importance of protecting oceans and its inhabitants.
Ocean-focused activities will be available all day in each of the Museum’s six galleries, which represent a different zone in the ocean. Guests can make a scuba mask, build a food chain, explore the importance of oysters and sea stars, learn how to help save the ocean at home and much more.
