World Oceans Day Film Festival Update

We had two fantastic beach cleanups this weekend. The first in Berkeley at the Shorebird Park Nature Center was our first East Bay WOD cleanup and we definitely want to do it again next year. Today's WOD beach cleanup at Ocean Beach in San Francisco was well-attended and a huge success with hundreds of volunteers. Many thanks to everybody who made it happen and to San Francisco Surfrider, the National Park Service, Sunset Scavenger, the California Academy of Sciences, and the Aquarium of the Bay. Remember, you can go to www.sfsurfrider.org and sign up for information about their monthly beach cleanups all around San Francisco.

Please be sure to come out for some great ocean films this week to learn more about World Oceans Day and our oceans. We have a great lineup of short ocean films that are fun, informative, and thought-provoking. Looking forward to seeing you at one or both events!
