The ocean is calling…and the Mermaids have answered! Marcie’s Mermaids will be swimming 19 miles along the shore of East Beach this Sunday, September 22, 2019 beginning at 9:00AM!

All are welcome to cheer on the Mermaids for the swim in memory of fellow swimmer and ocean-lover Marcie Kjoller to benefit Heal the Ocean. There will be a memorial moment at the water's edge at 9:00AM and the swim will start shortly after. The Mermaids will each swim the distance of 3.2 miles, to add up to 19 miles – the distance of the originally planned Santa Barbara Channel crossing.

Thank you again to Marcie’s Mermaids for bringing awareness to the work we do to keep our ocean clean and safe, and for raising nearly $10,000 to date for Heal the Ocean. If you would like to learn more about the Mermaids or to donate to their fundraiser please click here.
