About the event
What is World Ocean Day?
World Ocean Day is observed annually on June 8th to acknowledge the critical role the ocean plays in our lives and to promote its conservation. Introduced by the United Nations in 2008, this day is dedicated to celebrating the ocean, informing the public about the benefits derived from marine environments, and mobilizing global action for the ocean's sustainable management.
Why Celebrate World Ocean Day?
Ocean Health: The ocean is essential for climate regulation, oxygen production, and absorbing CO2, making it vital for Earth's life-support systems.
Biodiversity: It supports an incredible array of life, from the depths to the shores, with many species yet to be discovered.
Economic Benefits: Oceans contribute significantly to economies through fishing, tourism, and transport, yet they are under threat from pollution and over-exploitation.
