SUMMARY:Little Currents: Powered by OI + Rivian
DESCRIPTION:Toddler Time at Rivian South Coast Theater\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Ocean Institute is thrilled to partner with Rivian during their Toddler Time Wednesdays at the Rivian South Coast Theater in Laguna Beach! Little Currents: Powered by OI + Rivian is designed for children aged 0-2. This engaging program introduces little ones to ocean-inspired sensory experiences that foster early development and parent-child bonding and plant the seeds that can ignite a love for the world around them. Each session features a fun mix of sensory play\, sing-along circles\, themed crafts\, and interactive story time. Modeled after our popular Tiny Tots program\, this pop-up experience provides a safe and welcoming space for toddlers to explore while parents connect and learn about other family-friendly offerings from Ocean Institute. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Location: Rivian South Coast Theater\, 160 South Coast Highway\, Laguna Beach \nRecommended ages 0-2 years old. \nFREE to the public! \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				September Theme: Stars and Urchins\nThis activity comes from our tide pool’s theme. The California coastline is coated with tide pools all filled with different kinds of animals depending on where you are\, what time of year\, and if it’s low tide or high tide. The tiny tots will explore this changing habitat and all of the animals that live in it.  \n			\n				RSVP with Rivian

Additionally\, he partners with artists to develop new ways of communicating science broadly to non-science communities.  He works on a wide range of marine mammal species including baleen and toothed whales and dolphins across a range of geographic regions. Ari has long-term ecological research projects ongoing in Alaska\, California\, Massachusetts\, North Carolina\, and Antarctica. He has helped in the development of tag technology and analytical and visualization tools to better understand the underwater movements and behaviors of marine mammals. In Antarctica\, Ari is part of the Long-Term Ecological Research program at Palmer Station to better understand the ecological roles of cetaceans in a rapidly changing environment. In California\, Ari has helped to lead the SoCal Behavioral Response Study to understand the impacts of anthropogenic sound on a variety of cetacean species. Most recently\, Ari has partnered with several different artists and artist networks to create exhibitions that focus on using science to inspire and inform works of art related to marine mammals and climate resilience in California.  Ari is a National Geographic Explorer\, World Wildlife Fund Ambassador\, and BBC Natural History Unit partner and serves on several international research and conservation committees. \n  \n \n\n\n\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Instagram \nhttps://www.instagram.com/friedlaender_lab/ \n\n
