The Marine Science Institute invites you to celebrate World Oceans Day with us on June 6th, 2015! We will be offering two boat trips aboard our 90 foot Research Vessel, the Robert G. Brownlee.
Each two hour voyage features a unique window into San Francisco Bay. We'll deploy our net to catch a sample of fish from the Bay, bring up a sample of the bottom and examine what interesting invertebrates inhabit the sea floor, and peek into the world of plankton. There is no better way to learn about the amazing ecology of San Francisco Bay!
PRICE: $30 for Adults, $20 for Children

The Marine Science Institute was founded in 1970, around the time that the issue of water resources was becoming a major concern for many Bay Area inhabitants. The Institute's philosophy was founded on the idea that putting students in direct physical contact with their local bay environment will help cultivate their natural sense of curiosity while enriching their understanding of science and fostering a responsibility to protect their environment.
The idea for a World Oceans Day was born in 1992 at the first Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. The idea was to draw attention to the interconnected nature of our watery planet. Oceans Day is not celebrated in hundreds of cities around the world! A directory of events can be found at worldoceansday.org.
