For more than 25 years, youth from throughout California have taken part in Kids Ocean Day, which includes in-school presentations about our connection to the ocean and how we can protect it, a fun field trip to the coast, a beach cleanup, and joining together to form aerial art creations to send a message to the world.
Over the course of late May and early June, 3,964 students took part in a school assembly or classroom presentation, and most of those students gathered on beaches up and down the state to celebrate Kids Ocean Day. The aerial art formations this year were on the theme of "Restore," to convey the message that we all need to work to ensure that our coast and our environment is healthy and vibrant. The message was illustrated in different ways in each location and together sent a powerful message to the world about taking care of our planet. The children’s aerial art images from this year and previous years can be viewed at OceanDay.net.
