Families are invited to join us at the Visitor Center at Sailwinds Park to meet Mermaid Tasha and listen to her read from her latest book Mermaid Tasha's Mission. Learn how Mermaid Tasha decided to leave her home waters near Assateague Island to explore the human world. Learn about Assateague Island and some major environmental threats that have affected the island in this fun, interactive story book.

After learning about things like pollution, red tides, and eddies, take the Mermaid Pledge to become an honorary mermaid yourself!

Following story time, ShoreRivers educators will guide families on beach exploration. Families should be prepared to get wet and sandy.

This expedition is geared for children in grades two–five, but all ages are welcome.
