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!

World Oceans Day June 2009 in the Bay Area
This will be our third World Oceans Day series of events and we could not be more excited about all the events that will be happening. This is also the first year that the United Nations has declared June 8 as World Oceans Day, an official holiday to celebrate the oceans. In 2008, the City of San Francisco declared June 8 World Oceans Day and we were proud to promote that effort. At a time when our oceans need us the most, people across the world are getting more engaged with ocean issues. We are glad to share the following events with you and hope that you will keep checking back for more as events are finalized. More to come soon!
World Oceans Day Film Festival, June 4-12, 2009
As a reminder, we are still accepting submissions of short ocean-related films through the end of May for our World Oceans Day Film Festival. Please email eli@oceanhealth.org for details. Any film of any style with a connection to oceans, coasts, or islands will be considered. We are especially looking for comedy, animated, and action sports films that celebrate the oceans. Stay tuned for a listing of all the venues where we will screen our program of short ocean films. Filmmakers, please contact us about how to submit your film. Submission is free and online submissions are encouraged.
