World Ocean Day 2026 at Frost Science

A hands-on science program focuses on ocean ecosystems and citizen science through activities designed to highlight marine biodiversity and conservation.

World Ocean Day 2026 takes place Saturday, June 6 at the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science. Presented by Frost Science, the event invites visitors to explore the role of observation and data collection in understanding aquatic and coastal environments, with programming that emphasizes public participation in scientific research.

Activities draw from bioblitz-style approaches to wildlife documentation, encouraging guests to learn how observations collected through platforms such as iNaturalist contribute to broader research on biodiversity, invasive species and environmental change. The event aligns with World Ocean Day’s focus on awareness and stewardship, offering an educational setting for visitors to engage with ocean science and conservation topics.
