Join us June 8-11 in celebrating and supporting World Ocean Day (June 8) with our Ocean Conservation Weekend here at the Zoo! People everywhere can celebrate and take action for our shared ocean, which connects us all. Check out our social channels for some great content, activities and more. We will also be raising money for a couple of our favorite conservation organizations: The Marine Mammal Center and the Coral Reef Alliance. We have a special collaboration painting to giveaway this time around – for every $5 donated to either our online Facebook fundraiser or one onsite will have a chance to win a painting made by polar bear Anoki, one of the sea lions, and one of the African penguins!
