OCEAN FESTIVAL! CELEBRATING MARINE WILDLIFE WITH THE COMMUNITIES

The CRWF team participated in a festival for World Ocean Day on June 8th. The festival was hosted by the research group, The Secret Life of Sharks, and took place in La Cruz, Guanacaste. The festival promoted ocean conservation through educational activities for children, virtual 3D experiences for viewing ocean life, and a beach cleanup event. Costa Rica Wildlife representatives, including Patricia Blanco, assisted with the festival and hosted a booth to share information about the foundation’s work. It was a great opportunity to engage more with academic research, community education, and ocean conservation!
