The Bermuda Aquarium Museum and Zoo celebrated World Oceans Day on Saturday, by putting on a host of activities highlighting Bermuda’s connection to the sea.
Visitors, who enjoyed free admission to the facility, were able to take part in a ‘Get Salty’ breath-holding competition and ocean-themed crafts, and also learn about ocean resources and the need to conserve them.
