Dear Channel Islands Naturalist Corps Volunteers:

Celebrate World Oceans Day! Fellow CINC volunteers Drew Picard, Warren Glaser, Pam Yerger, and Tamara Thompson will host a sanctuary and park booth at the Ty Warner Sea Center this Saturday in celebration of World Oceans Day. We will also be celebrating Cap Rouge Day in celebration of Jacques Cousteau (CINC volunteers will have red caps to wear at our booth). You can also celebrate by watching a National Park Channel Islands Live event: http://www.nps.gov/chis/parknews/world-oceans-day-2012.htm

World Oceans Day 
Saturday, June 9, 2012
11:00 AM–3:00 PM 
Ty Warner Sea Center World Oceans Day

“One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish.” Get to know funny fish“from there to here,from here to there"and everywhere. Meet experts who protect and explore our oceans. Check out marine animals as they eat a special treat. Make a wish for a fish and enjoy Dr. Seuss-styled activities.
Cap Rouge Day - Red Hat Day 2012 
For Cap Rouge Day, which will be held on World Oceans Day, don’t forget to wear – and promote the wearing of - a red cap, as a symbol of recognition between, and for, ocean lovers everywhere. The red cap is to remind us of Commander Jacques-Yves COUSTEAU, whose birthday anniversary is on June 11.
People around the world will be wearing a red cap in honor of Jacques Yves Cousteau, who inspired people of all ages to love and protect the ocean.  We hope that you will join us this year and wear a red cap for the ocean.  Cap Rouge Day was first celebrated in 2010 on what would have been Jacques Cousteau's 100th birthday. 
Jacques Yves Cousteau was probably the single most influential ocean personality during the last 100 years bringing the wonders, mysteries, and fascination of the marine environment to the attention of a broad, world wide public.  He has inspired generations of kids, divers, journalists, filmmakers, scientist's even politicians through his films and series.  As spectators of the expeditions we got to know what is out there and the stories made us curious for more and kindles passion for this silent world. Today much of the diversity depicted by Cousteau is already gone. To make a first simple step we can do something, we can show that we care.  
Take this time to consider how you contribute as a Channel Islands Naturalist Corps volunteer to help ensure that our ocean is protected and conserved for future generations. As a CINC volunteer your stewardship and interaction with the public helps to:
    * Change perspective – encourage individuals to think about what the ocean means to them and what it has to offer all of us with hopes of conserving it for present and the future generations.
    * Learn - discover the wealth of diverse and beautiful ocean creatures and habitats, how our daily actions affect them, and how we are all interconnected.
    * Change our ways – we are all linked to, and through, the ocean! By taking care of your backyard, you are acting as a caretaker of our ocean. Making small modifications to your everyday habits will greatly benefit our blue planet.*http://worldoceansday.org/?page_id=7
Thank you for all that you do!
