Coast Day 2025 was a big success at the University of Delaware’s College of Earth, Ocean and Environment in Lewes.
Beautiful weather brought visitors Oct. 5, to explore the many hands-on exhibits and activities celebrating the region’s coastal environment.
Families learned about marine life and conservation efforts through touch tanks, tours, research vessel visits and interactive displays. From faculty and students to volunteers and community partners, everyone came together to showcase the incredible work being done to protect Delaware’s coasts, lands, forests and waterways.
