Delaware Coast Day

Coast Day showcases how University of Delaware scientists, staff, and students are improving our understanding of ocean environments and serve coastal communities.

Family-friendly activities 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 2018 is “Science Serving Coastal Communities”

Coast Day is sponsored by the University of Delaware’s College of Earth, Ocean, and Environment and the Delaware Sea Grant College Program.

Please leave your pets at home. Coast Day has adopted a no-pet policy.
Only service animals are permitted at the event.
