Having Fun on World Oceans Day!

Today is World Oceans Day when aquariums, zoos and other family-friendly places celebrate our oceans. Our oceans cover 72% of Mother Earth so it’s pretty important that we care for them. You can teach your children how to care for our oceans and have lots of fun!

Check out these fun World Oceans Day Activities!

1. Plymouth, MA is hosting a  Seabird & Whale Tales wildlife cruise
