Here in Cape May the ocean is an integral part of our lives. World Oceans Day is a day for us to celebrate the ocean, show our appreciation for it and bring awareness to the issues it's currently facing.
On Sunday, June 10th, we are celebrating the ocean outside the Whale's Tale from 1-4pm, with informative exhibits from the New Jersey Surfrider Foundation, authors Cindy Bilbao & Eileen Clancy Biegel and a sea creature touch tank with a live Horseshoe Crab from the Nature Center of Cape May.
The Surfrider Foundation is dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the World's oceans, waves and beaches. They will be raising awareness of the plastic epidemic plaguing our seas.
Cindy Bilbao is an authority on sea glass and will be sharing her wisdom with sea glass enthusiasts and signing copies of her book. She is an accomplished sea glass photographer and lover of the ocean.
Eileen Clancy Biegel is the author of award-winning Ocean One: Only One Ocean...Only One Chance. With a background in environmental sciences, her book teaches children the affects of marine debris in an accessible way. She will be on hand to help us learn how, we too, can make a difference.
The Nature Centerof Cape May will be bringing lots of interesting creatures for us to admire and learn about. It's fun for all ages! Admission is free we hope to you can join us!
