Celebrate World Oceans Day at the Sea Center on Stearns Wharf! Admission is free thanks to UCSB's Moeller Lab. Join us for a day filled with fun opportunities to meet animals from the Santa Barbara Channel and learn about local ecosystems.
Come meet an array of community partners dedicated to ocean conservation and celebration, and experience the Sea Center’s interactive exhibits for free. Please note that the Sea Center closes an hour earlier than usual on this day to accommodate the event.
No tickets or RSVP required. There may be a line to enter. The line will close at 3:30 PM. It will be a busy day for parking on the wharf, so consider walking, carpooling, or other forms of transportation.
