Come celebrate the awesomeness of these magnificent creatures!
Check out our 2020 Whale Festival and check back for 2021 info!
WDC kicked-off World Ocean’s Day with a kid-friendly presentation to introduce you to some special people who are taking trash OUT of the ocean and making something with it - and you won't believe what they are making!
Thanks to Kim Bernard and Ocean Sole for sharing their amazing work!
Author John Himmelman reads his book, Ibis, a True Whale Story, which tells the true story of a humpback whale. This story, retold by a six-year-old, inspired Steve Schuch to write a song. Then artist and scientist Rich Dolan shares some of his handmade whale models.
Thanks to John Himmelman, Steve Schuch, and Rich Dolan.
