The North Shore Ocean Fest, an annual fundraiser sponsored by North Shore Ocean Education Coalition, will be held Saturday, June 1, 2019, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the Bay View Lawn at the beach at Turtle Bay Resort.

The event honors “World Oceans Day,” celebrated annually on June 8 since 2002 to promote ocean education worldwide.
