Seal Sitters MMSN will host “Flipper Fest“, a free educational outreach event, on Sunday, May 31st, from 1-5 pm at the Alki Bathhouse.

The event will feature 15 organizations with interactive exhibits on pinnipeds, cetaceans and invertebrates – as well as information on the devastating effects of marine debris and pollution in our waters. There will be a demonstration on how to secure crabs pots to keep marine mammals safe from dangerous entanglements.

Kids will find lots of art activities, including the creation of marine-themed artwork from plastic bottle caps collected by our volunteers. Weather permitting, there will be a life-size inflatable orca on site.

Several raffle drawings will be held throughout the afternoon for a chance to win some awesome prizes!

We hope to see you and your friends there! Not only will you learn alot, we predict you’ll have some fun doing so and leave “Flipper Fest” empowered with ways you can help protect marine life.
