Coast Day showcases
how University of
Delaware scien-
tists, staff and students are
improving an understand-
ing of ocean environ-
ments. It shares the work
of Delaware Sea Grant
to connect communi-
ties to the latest science
to solve local problems.
And it features scores of
exhibitors from across the
state displaying their own
environmental work.

Family-friendly activi-
ties include an event-wide
treasure hunt for answers
to questions about the
environment and Coast
Day exhibits. Children
can meet sea-dwelling
animals such as horseshoe
crabs and dogfish sharks
at the critter touch tanks.
Everyone can enjoy live
music, vendor displays,
and seafood favorites
showcased by local chefs
at the Crab Cake Cook-Off
and the Seafood Chowder
Challenge.

Our theme for 2019 is A
Ripple Through Time, and
emphasizes ways scien-
tists study changes in our
environment over time
and the ways Sea Grant
extension agents and oth-
ers work to improve our
future.

Coast Day is spon-
sored by the University
of Delaware’s College of
Earth, Ocean, and Envi-
ronment and the Dela-
ware Sea Grant College
Program.

our free entertainment stage,” said
Johnson.

“We provide a festival that has no
parking fees, no entrance fees, free
transportation, and free entertain-

you can enjoy it for hours whether it
be walking through the car show or
stopping by the vendors or listening
