Project Years (2004 - Present)
Fidalgo Bay Day is Skagit MRC's signature educational event that has taken place each year since 2004. It is supported by many partners and volunteers. The purpose of this free event is to increase public awareness of the marine environment and foster environmental stewardship. This event would't happen without our wonderful volunteers or the support of the Samish Indian Nation and Friends of Skagit Beaches.
We hope you were able join us to celebrate the 20th anniversary of our annual Fidalgo Bay Day event on Saturday, August 24, 2024 at the Fidalgo Bay Resort in Anacortes.
2024 Event Highlights: an educational beach seining demonstration, live marine critters in Shannon Point Marine Center’s undersea zoo, a real whale skull from Deception Pass State Park, microscopes with forage fish eggs, kid friendly craft tables, fun games, and Discovery Passport Stations with prizes to learn about local projects and volunteer opportunities at the many educational exhibits staffed by local agencies and organizations.
In addition to all the fun activities, visitors got to fill their appetites with a fabulous no-host traditional Coast Salish salmon BBQ lunch and taste complimentary popcorn and samples of local seafood provided by Taylor Shellfish, Bobs Chowder Bar, and Adrift! We also had a raffle drawing just for volunteers to win gift certificates from Anthony's at Cap Sante Marina and Secret Cove.
