Celebrate World Ocean Day this week!
The 8th of June – World Ocean Day - is a special time to celebrate and honor our one shared ocean! Although our ocean needs protecting and celebrating 365 days of the year,
we invite everyone to take action and participate in World Ocean Day to provide extra support and engagement in honor of our blue planet in June.
WorldOceanDay.org
is a resource for you to use as you wish, and if you submit your event or activity we will amplify it to the world through our network of organizations working in 150 countries. We will list events,
activities, and conservation-related announcements on the Events Calendar,
World Map, and/or
Announcements List.
Whether your event is happening on 8 June, World Ocean Day, or you have something planned any other day of the year — share it with the world by
submitting it here.
If you do not see an event in your area, check back regularly as events are being added daily and if you have submitted an event recently, it should be reviewed and published soon! Check
out some of the many events that are happening around the world!
If you’re looking for amplification on social media, the best way to get our attention is by following the World Ocean Day social media platforms and tagging World Ocean Day in your
conservation-related posts:
Our main goal with helping globally coordinate World Ocean Day since 2002 has been to help unite and rally the world to protect and restore our blue planet with its one ocean, one climate,
and our one future, together. By uniting together, and with a special emphasis on engaging and connecting youth, we can significantly increase awareness, action, and the political will needed to create a healthier ocean and a better future.
For the third consecutive year, World Ocean Day and its fast-growing international network will continue to support momentum for a global commitment to "30x30": Protect at least 30%
of our lands, waters, and ocean by 2030 to create a healthy ocean with abundant wildlife and help stabilize the climate. It’s encouraged for you to incorporate this theme into your plans. Please see the
new “How-To Guide” to help
you easily incorporate this theme into your World Ocean Day plans. If you haven’t already, please
sign this year’s 30×30 petition
and share it with anyone you know who supports protecting our blue planet!
There are many resources on our website at
WorldOceanDay.org/Resources available for you to use
– including our
social media toolkit! Whether you use them on your website, over social media or in-person for your activities and events, please feel free to customize the resources with your logo and tailor for your audience as desired. Lastly, these specific resources
might be useful as you continue making your plans:
