VOICES OF THE OCEAN (VOCES DEL OCÉANO)

Voices of the Ocean is a local initiative for science outreach, environmental education, and community engagement designed to celebrate World Oceans Day in San Carlos and Guaymas, Sonora, Mexico, on June 6 and 7, 2026. The project comprises six complementary experiences: exploration of the rocky intertidal zone, an introductory snorkeling workshop, a public panel interview with local experts, a public forum on the legal defense of whales and marine ecosystems, a private networking dinner with sponsors, and a follow-up educational maritime trip around San Carlos seascapes. The initiative promotes ocean literacy, experiential learning, safety in coastal and marine activities, critical thinking, civic engagement, and a conservation ethic based on respect for the biodiversity of the Gulf of California. The event aims to establish itself as a permanent regional platform for education, ocean culture, and collective action for marine protection.
