Coast Day is an annual event held the first Sunday of October. The event showcases how University of Delaware scientists, staff, and students are improving our understanding of ocean environments and serve coastal communities. Coast Day attendees can interact with researchers, tour ships, try hands-on activities, and attend presentations on a range of topics.

In past years, these family-friendly activities included an event-wide treasure hunt for answers to questions about the environment and Coast Day exhibits. Children met sea-dwelling animals such as horseshoe crabs and dogfish sharks at the critter touch tanks. Everyone enjoyed live music, vendor displays and seafood favorites showcased by local chefs at the Crab Cake Cook-Off and the Seafood Chowder Challenge.

The Lewes campus is closed for 2020. The event this year is being held online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Registration is required but the event is FREE! Please join us from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 4, 2020 at www.DeCoastDay.org
