crashing waves on rocks of the Sonoma Coastline

To see the wonders of nature, we don't need to ascend to the stars. We only need to dive into the ocean.

	Ocean Discovery! was established in 2004 with the philosophy that people of all ages enjoy learning through hands-on exploration and have a natural curiosity about the ocean and its mysteries within. With our partners, Ocean Discovery! is bringing a whole new way of learning about marine environments to the community of Sonoma County. Our goal is to actively involve people in issues that affect their precious coastline. We strive to motivate people to learn about the ocean through participation in interactive activities, increase awareness of the latest scientific endeavors, and promote conservation and restoration efforts. Ocean Discovery! also reaches out to elementary, middle, and high school students to teach all types of science (chemistry, biology, physics, and ecology) using the ocean as their “backyard” laboratory.
