Celebrating World Oceans Day- The Big, The Small, and The Weird

In honor of World Oceans Day, the theme this month is Celebrating Our Oceans: The Big, The Small, and The Weird.  Come learn about the amazing diversity of life that lives out in the Ocean, from the big to the small and everything in between.  Docent-led tours will take you around the hospital showcasing some of the patients we are caring for and how our veterinarians are getting them better.  Classroom presentations will feature interactive activities and multimedia showcasing the diversity of life living in our oceans, from the biggest animal in the World (the blue whale), to the smallest animals in the Ocean (plankton), the top predator (the orca, or killer whale) and even the weirdest animals like the unicorns of the sea, the narwhal!

FREE Classroom Programs: Saving Species: Endangered Marine Mammals - 12 PM and 2 PM  (1 hour sessions)
Come learn about the efforts of The Marine Mammal to save endangered and threatened marine mammals.  Learn how the Center is building a hospital in Hawaii to save the most endangered seal in the US, cut down on ship strikes to the World's largest animal, and our current fur seal patients. A great complement to the docent-led tour!
