Washington is home to over 40 threatened or endangered plants and animals. Spend the day at the Estuarium learning about some of the endangered species found around the Salish Sea and how you can help protect them! Activities include button making, a chalk art contest, Saving Endangered Species Youth Art Contest display and exhibit, live feedings of our estuary animals, and a shark dissection.

Arts and crafts will we available throughout the day with activities spread outdoors and indoors at the Estuarium to regulate our limited capacity. Live feedings of our animals are scheduled for 1:00 and 3:00 PM.

The shark dissection will be held inside the lab room at 2:00 PM. There is limited space for viewing the dissection in order to enforce safe social distancing, so audience participation is first come first serve.

This is a free event that is open to the public. Masks are required, and COVID-19 protocols will be in affect.

Endangered Species Day is sponsored by the Endangered Species Coalition and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.
