FMSA Invites YOU!

Blue sky and red roofed buildings welcome you to OceanFest.

 

OceanFest

October 7, 2006

11am - 4pm

We are excited to invite Bay Area residents and visitors to celebrate the Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary in its 25th Anniversary year and its sister Sanctuaries as precious protected areas at our fun-filled (and free!) beachfront festival. This year our theme is:

LEARN * EXPLORE * VOLUNTEER * BE ECO-SAVVY * SPEAK OUT FOR MARINE CONSERVATION!

Come learn how the health of the sanctuaries is interconnected with your own health and that of the world. The festival takes place during Fleet Week at our Visitor Center grounds on Crissy Field, and includes:

  • Sustainable seafood and vegetarian fare prepared by top Bay Area restaurants, such as Greens, Farallon, and Zuni Café, and paired with crisp wine and refreshing local beer
  • Live music and speakers
  • A marine fair exhibiting myriad ways to enjoy and protect our sanctuaries
  • Interactive children's activities
  • A raffle featuring TBD ...something exciting
  • expedition for two from Blue Waters Kayaking
