In the afternoon, gather at the Brad & Joan Ingalls Amphitheater to watch Resource Depot’s Catwalk Student Fashion Show at 11 a.m. Middle and high school students will showcase marine-themed outfits inspired by the center’s sea turtle patients and their stories. Each student’s fashion design conveys an ocean conservation message and is crafted from upcycled materials.

The eco-friendly designs will return during the World Ocean Day Film Festival June 7-8 as part of the World Ocean Month student exhibition. Throughout the day, Loggerhead Marinelife Center will also welcome environmental community partners to share Earth Day messaging with guests, and host programs on campus and in nearby natural areas.
