The Scottish Seabird Centre at North Berwick is taking part in this year's UN’s World Ocean Day, marking the global event with its annual Marine Fest. . .and a VIP guest.
The festival’s packed five-day programme brings together scientists, environmentalists and nature enthusiasts to celebrate Scotland’s globally significant marine wildlife and habitats.
There will also be special activities during tomorrow's World Ocean Day, which will help connect people of all ages with the local marine environment.
Megan McCubbin, zoologist, author and Springwatch presenter, will headline proceedings with an in-person talk in the centre at 6.30pm.
Emily Burton, conservation officer at the Scottish Seabird Centre said: “We’re thrilled to be celebrating World Ocean Day with visitors and the local community.
"We hope that the activities running throughout the day will inspire participants to get outside and enjoy the incredible marine wildlife and habitats found around the Scottish coast. With a range of outdoor events, family friendly sessions, and conservation talks, we hope there will be something for everyone.”
