Annual "Celebrate the Gulf” Marine Education Festival

Visit more than 25 exhibits related to the wise use, preservation or conservation of our valuable aquatic and coastal resources. Children and adults alike will get to experience everything from crawling through the ever-popular "Turtle Hurdle" to visiting the Fossil Dig activity where kids can look for a fossilized shark tooth to take home as a free souvenir, as well as displays of marine mammal and sea turtle artifacts, sponsored by the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies. Participants will also participate in many hands-on activities involving native plants, birds and marine life.
