It's a beautiful Sunday in San Diego and summer feels like it's upon us already! Warm temps, blue skies, beach days, and pool time! Lots of great ways to cool off and lots of fun summer activities coming up soon.
Here's a few of them;
June 8th. World Oceans Day. Happening "All Over", and Birch Aquarium in La Jolla is celebrating on June 8th & 9th, 11am-3pm. Explore the aquarium in Seussian style as you spot fish with zany names and odd shapes. Learn about fish diversity as you peer through microscopes, touch shark skin, and observe swimming fish. Enjoy a fishy scavenger hunt and story times throughout the day. Included with admission.
June 8th. World Oceans Day Beach Clean-up with San Diego Coastkeeper. For all beach cleanups, please wear comfortable clothes, closed-toed shoes and sunscreen. All volunteers (individuals as well as groups) are welcome to participate and must sign a liability waiver. Volunteers under the age of 18 must have a parent or guardian present at the beginning of the cleanup to sign a liability waiver before the minor can participate. Registration is not required unless a group is larger than 25 people – to register please contact beachcleanup@sdcoastkeeper.org. We will have supplies on hand, but volunteers should bring their own reusable gloves, reusable bag/bucket and/or reusable water bottle to reduce waste. As a volunteer, you play an active role in determining the sources of trash on our beaches. After all beach cleanups, please be prepared to fill out a data card detailing the types of trash that you collected. We post this data on our website and track trends over time, then communicate it to your community leaders.
Month of June. North County Arts & Culture in June. If you are looking for something fun to do this June, then take a drive up the coast and experience arts and culture in North County. Six North County San Diego institutions are presenting the second annual North County Arts & Culture in June, a month-long opportunity for the public to enjoy half-off admission at the following six participating museums: California Surf Museum Lux Art Institute Museum of Making Music Oceanside Museum of Art San Diego Botanic Garden San Diego Children's Discovery Museum

Washed Ashore: Plastics, Sea Life & Art is a nationally acclaimed, environmental art exhibit featuring massive sculptures and other art pieces made entirely of marine debris collected from beaches, such as plastic ropes, nets, toys, cigarette lighters, flip-flops, Frisbees and more. The community art project brings attention to the global crisis of ocean pollution and the impact of “disposable” plastics that threaten marine animals and habitats. The vision of Oregon-based artist Angela Haseltine Pozzi, Washed Ashore is designed to educate, entertain and inspire guests of all ages. This interactive art experience runs through September 3rd, 2012 at the Chula Vista Nature Center before beginning its worldwide tour.
