Celebrate the Ocean With Us

June 6–7

Celebrate World Ocean Day all weekend on Saturday June 6th and Sunday June 7th! Join us from 9AM-3PM to celebrate the ocean and learn what Georgia Aquarium does to support it.

During your visit, come to the welcome table in the atrium to get your Ocean Exploration Passport which will guide you around the aquarium to learn about Ocean (and freshwater!) environments. Everyone who completes their passport will receive special prizes.

Also, keep an eye out for special animal enrichment and keeper talks happening throughout the building, then stay for Glow Nights starting at 4PM!

World Ocean Day 1

How You Can Help

    Pick up local litter
    One of the most popular World Ocean Day activities doesn’t have to be put on hold because you’re at home! Take a walk around your neighborhood and pick up trash as you go.
    Share on social media
    Show your support for World Ocean Day by posting an educational video on your social media feed with an environmentally-conscious message you’re that passionate about!
    Change your AC filter
    As the weather warms up, changing your AC filter could help reduce your carbon footprint (and your electric bill!). How? Dirty filters force your furnace to strain and use more energy to keep your home cool.
    Donate instead of tossing
    Spring cleaning may help declutter your home, but do you ever think where everything in your “toss pile” ends up? Try donating any clothes and home goods you plan to get rid of to keep them out of landfills.
    Use efficient lights
    When you need to use lights at home, be a smart consumer and use CFLs or LED bulbs. This easy swap from inefficient incandescent bulbs can decrease your energy usage up to 70%.
    Be smart when washing
    When it comes time to wash your clothes, two small changes could have a big environmental impact! Save energy by washing in cold water and hanging your clothes to dry – its that easy!
