The Marine Science Institute is honoring Planet Earth with our "Earth Day on the Bay!" event on Saturday, April 18, 2009 from 8 am - 5 pm. This all day event is filled with family-friendly events geared towards providing fun, memorable, and meaningful experiences to bond you with San Francisco Bay, and the planet.
We throw open our doors to the public just once
a year, so we have packed in a terrific variety of watery ways to have fun
and learn about our treasured San Francisco Bay. If you like music, mud
and sea creatures, you are bound to have a great time! Create ocean crafts,
enjoy our special presentations about Orcas, or head out on the Bay on one
of our four trips aboard our Research Vessel, the Robert G. Brownlee!
Sea
you there!
