One Year Later: Community & Science Day

Santa Monica’s Heal the Bay Aquarium is hosting a free afternoon of educational activities a year out from the wildfires. See an 18-foot-long map of the Palisades Fire’s impact, hear about post-fire water quality and learn how to protect the coast going forward. The aquarium’s aquatic residents will also be in attendance—you can touch a shark and meet new baby sunflower sea stars. DJ and environmental advocate Heidi Lawden, who was herself displaced by the fires, will be on hand for some music, movement and guided meditations.
