Earth Day at Aquarium of the Pacific
The Aquarium of the Pacific, 100 Aquarium Way, Long Beach, will hold a virtual festival for its 21st annual Earth Day celebration.
The public aquarium on a 5-acre site on Rainbow Harbor is home to 11,000 animals and a 350,000-gallon shark tank.
In honor of Earth Day, it will do animal meet-and-greets and give everyday tips on how to protect the environment.
A virtual event will be held from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. on April 24. Check the Aquarium of the Pacific social channels or website for more programing information.
Starting on Earth Day, today, April 22, the aquarium is asking the public to participate in an ongoing cleanup initiative through its newest community science program called T.R.A.S.H. Citizen scientists can also help by taking part in its local sea turtle monitoring project to help this threatened population of green sea turtles.
