World Oceans Week: Make Waves Not Waste

Celebrate World Oceans Week with creative crafts that are kind to the planet! Join us for Trash to Treasure, where you’ll explore the impact of everyday crafting materials—and discover ocean-friendly alternatives that are just as fun.

From pasta bead bracelets to eco-glitter, you’ll leave with a creation you can feel great about. Plus, don’t miss a special student-led display about the environmental cost of fast fashion in a powerful “trashion” project.

*Free with Aquarium admission
