The celebration entails whale watching while cleaning up balloons from the ocean, which highlights the theme of Earth Day 2022 “Invest in our Planet.”

The Earth Day Sunset Whale Watching Cruise is $39 per person. ($5 of each ticket will be donated to the organization of Balloons Blow which helps to keep our environment free of balloons that float out to sea where they may encounter marine life. Proceeds will also benefit the Gray Whale Foundation, which takes school children each year to teach them about the Majestic Gray Whale migration.

Stand Up To Trash then invites you to join the community with a beach clean-up on Saturday, April 23rd, with more focus on this year’s theme of “Invest in our Planet” with a lunch and learn from 9-11 am on the wharf at the Ocean Institute.
