Kids Ocean Day is about that first WOW moment of pure joy when a kid who has never been to the beach before steps off the bus, falls in love, and thinks they can save the Earth. We believe that first moment of DISCOVERY is the catalyst for a lifetime of caring for the planet.
Each spring, the program engages students in California communities who learn about how their neighborhoods are connected to watersheds, beaches, and the ocean, and how trash and pollution flows to the coast. They learn about ways to reduce plastic pollution culminating in a beach field trip in which they take a “stand in the sand” and send a message through an aerial art project.
The program is supported by the California Coastal Commission’s Whale Tail License Plate.
