Volunteers Needed

Hello everyone. We are needing volunteers with pier fishing knowledge for the big event July 9th. Details Below. Let me know if anyone is interested

It is the 30th anniversary for both MBNMS and Santa Cruz-based Shared Adventures (https://www.sharedadventures.org/). As part of July’s Enjoy Spectacular events, MBNMS will partner for the first time with Shared Adventures in their annual “Day on the Beach” on July 9, 2022 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. This event hosts more than 300 people with special needs (both physical and mental disabilities), 400+ family members and friends, and over 250 enthusiastic volunteers who team up to share a full day of adaptive sports, including kayaking, outrigger canoeing, SCUBA diving, and beach wheelchair rides/floats. Every year, 30-40 veterans take part in Day on the Beach.

This year, MBNMS plans to add to the list of possible ocean recreation —a recreational fishing activity from the Santa Cruz Wharf. We will partner with our advisory council recreation fishing representatives Jose Montes and Adam Helm  to guide participants in a fun, hands-on experience.

We anticipate having 5 fishing stations for the Shared Adventures Day on the Beach fishing activity. I think we should start to recruit your expert fishing buddies to help out.

We would need them on July 9th 9:30am- 4:30pm. There's going to be a lot of music and fun activities at our Exploration Center too so have them bring their families.

I anticipate 5 fishing stations near the fishing exhibit on the Santa Cruz wharf. We want to have 5 stations  with one person for each station that is an expert fisherman.

I have a commitment from Santa Cruz/Capitola Boat Rental and fishing store to provide poles and line for 5 stations and we can buy tackle and bait.

I would like to help with this event.   I am an experienced fisherman but not an expert.

Awesome!!! Shoot me an email at diverhelm@gmail.com with all your basic contact information.
