Welcome!
Hello and welcome to the Sea Dreamers newsletter! Each month, we’ll be sharing upcoming events and community highlights, in tandem with Cat’s newsletter. Thank you for being part of our mission to build more inclusive ocean spaces!
April Event Recap: Mussel Harvest & Yoga Flow
We kicked the month off with an event we were super excited about. Our SF-based Ambassador Catie did an incredible job sharing how to safely, responsibly, and legally harvest mussels. Key takeaways: check MPAs, check tides, and check for health closures!
More recently, the Sea Dreamers Club at La Costa Canyon High School hosted its first event with a Yoga Flow and Beach Cleanup at Moonlight Beach. We love this idea because (1) it gets more young women engaging with the ocean and (2) it provides girls with a service opportunity they can use for school!
Upcoming Events
Brace yourselves. There’s a lot going down in May.
All of these events are listed on the Sea Dreamers EventBrite!
May 9th - Beach Clean up and Ocean Dip, Santa Cruz CA
Our first event is taking place in Santa Cruz with artist Jody Alexander, where she’ll host a beach clean-up and ocean dip. Jody has made clear both coffee AND tea AND scones will be provided, so there’s a lot to look forward to here.
May 10th - Seas the Day with Mom, San Francisco CA
We’re excited to host a special Mother’s Day celebration at Baker Beach on Sunday morning. This event is designed to honor moms, especially single mothers who may not have someone planning the day for them, by creating a space for connection, joy, and time by the ocean.
The morning will include an optional ocean dip for moms and a beach scavenger hunt for kids, so there’s something fun and engaging for the whole family (and a goody bag to take home for moms!)
May 17th - Open Water Swim, Boca Raton FL
The first Florida event is taking place this month, as our Boca Raton-based Ambassador Vanessa Bonebrake is hosting an open water swim! All levels of proficiency and comfort are encouraged to join and have a welcome place at this event.
May 31 - Ocean Dip & Coffee Chat, Santa Barbara CA
We’ll have a chill ocean dip and coffee chat on Sunday morning to round out the month!
Sea Dreamers x Topa Topa: Sip for the Sea
During the last weekend of May, Sea Dreamers will be hosting “Sip for the Sea” at Topa Topa Brewing Company’s headquarters in Ventura. The event benefits Sea Dreamers and Swim California, with a panel featuring Catherine Breed and representatives from the Santa Barbara Channelkeeper and Sharkbanz. The following day, Cat and I will be doing a swim around Anacapa, one of the Channel Islands. The day after, we’ll host a Sea Dreamers event in Santa Barbara! Join for one event or all, we would love to see you!
