World Ocean Day Coming June 8th

Created in 1992 at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro—although not yet officially designated by the United Nations—World Ocean Day is an opportunity each year to celebrate our world ocean and our personal connection to the sea.

The Ocean Project, working closely with the World Ocean Network, helps each year to coordinate events and activities with aquariums, zoos, museums, conservation organizations, universities, schools and businesses. Together with the World Ocean Network, the Ocean Project is also working to have the United Nations officially designate World Ocean Day as June 8th each year. To find events in your area, visit The Ocean Project’s event page.
