Mission Bay White Seabass
Release
Join us this Wednesday June 11th at either 5pm or 6pm at the
Mission Bay pen to help us release the 6,000 white seabass we
have been taking care of for the past months. We will
be rolling up our sleeves, scooping the fish out of the pen
and hand releasing them into the Bay. Make sure to
wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. Come see
these graduates leave our pens and venture out into the ocean!
We have two shifts that need to be filled: 5-6pm & 6-7pm.
Please
RSVP for one of those shifts at volunteer@sdoceans.org

Storm Drain Stenciling
Saturday

Saturday July 26th - 9am -11am | Meet at SDOF Office
In partnership
with I Love a Clean San Diego, SDOF volunteers stencil messages next to
storm drains to help raise awareness about the link between the storm drain
systems and water quality. Many areas of the County have not been stenciled
or need to be re-stenciled. Paint, stencils, and safety equipment are
provided at no charge. A brief 10-minute orientation will be
provided. Please RSVP to volunteer@sdoceans.org.
White Seabass Orientations
Tuesday June 10th | 5:30pm – 6:30pm | San Diego Bay
Monday June 16th | Noon – 1:00pm | San Diego Bay
Thursday June 26th | 5:30pm – 6:30pm | San Diego Bay
Since we are
releasing the white seabass in our Mission Bay pen on June 11th,
we will not be accepting new volunteers for Mission Bay at this time.
We will, however, be holding orientations for the San Diego Bay
pens. If you do not foresee an orientation you can attend in the next
month, we may be able to schedule an orientation to fit your schedule.
Please contact volunteer@sdoceans.org.
Get Involved in Canyon Watch
Rose Canyon Intro Hike
9:00am
- 10:45am
Saturday
June 14th
Do you want
to volunteer for the Canyon Watch program, but don’t know where to start?
SDOF now hosts monthly Canyon Watch hikes to introduce new volunteers to
the program and build camaraderie among current volunteers! On the hike we
will explain how the program works, what to look for and even a bit about
the flora and fauna that lives in our canyons. With more than 300 miles of
sewer lines in our urban canyons, when there is a sewer line failure the
spill can go undetected for days leaving a grim impact on our rivers, bays,
and beaches… become a Canyon Watch volunteer to protect these fragile
ecosystems! For more information about the Canyon Watch program
click here.
RSVP to volunteer@sdoceans.org
for directions and more details!
