About:
Sixteen miles east of the Georgia coast between Savannah and Brunswick, Gray’s Reef National Marine Sanctuary is one of the largest near-shore live-bottom reefs in the southeastern US. Considered an oasis in that region, its rocky habitat of ledges and seafloor attracts more than 200 species of fish and 400 species of invertebrates. The Gray’s Reef National Marine Sanctuary Ocean Discovery Center is a free, interactive educational center in downtown Savannah, GA that serves as a land-based gateway to the offshore Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary.
Please join SCAD SERVE in supporting Gray's Reef Ocean Discovery Center during their "The Earth Is Blue Block Party" on Saturday, February 28th 2026. This free community event will celebrate the new exhibits at the discovery center and will feature local vendors and hands-on activities.
