ocean Discovery! graphic
is dedicated to educating Sonoma County's K-12 and adult communities about marine science through hands-on activities, classes and tours, teacher training, lectures, and special events.
Ever wonder what snails, crabs and anemones do when the tide flows in? Ever ask yourself what lives in the beach sand beneath your toes? You may have been to the ocean, but have you ever really discovered it?
Through observation, experimentation, and conservation, Ocean Discovery! will show you the ocean up close and personal! See the ocean through the eyes of a scientist! Learn about unique local marine habitats, the amazing organisms that live there, and the extraordinary challenges they face.

Come Join the Fun!
