Blue Innovation Day 2024
October 6 @ 11:00 am - 3:30 pm
Join Save Our Shores at Blue Innovation Day 2024!
Blue Innovation exists to connect researchers, organizations, and community members who are passionate about protecting our ocean and water sources. There is an urgent need, as well as an opportunity, for scalable new technologies, solutions, and ventures to improve ocean and water sustainability.
Blue Innovation Day is on Sunday, October 6, 2024. Join us from 11:00am-3:30pm for a variety of activities in and outside of the UC Santa Cruz Seymour Marine Discovery Center for a full day of inspirational exhibits from companies, artists, small businesses, non-profits, and researchers who are tackling the water and ocean challenges created by climate change. Enjoy food trucks, live bands, tours, scavenger hunts, fun hands on activities for all ages, and information on the latest technologies, research, and programs for supporting our blue planet.
Back by popular demand: a raffle hosted by O’Neill Sea Odyssey for numerous prizes including dinners at your favorite Santa Cruz restaurants, sunset sail on the O’Neill Sea Odyssey, and more.
