NOAA celebrated June 8th as World Ocean Day and California's first Thank YouOcean Day by bringing 1,200 4th and 5th graders to Dockweiler Beach. Many ofthese students had never seen the ocean despite living only a few miles away and were in awe of the sights and sounds of their day at the beach. NOAA NMFS, NWS, and NOS marine sancturaries offices participated as well as many partners.
