Thank you for celebrating World Oceans Day 2017!

SAAMBR’s World Oceans Day 2017 celebrations on 8 June focused on creating micro plastics awareness. The programme looked at what micro plastics are, how they have become an invisible part of our daily lives and how they adversely affect our health and that of the oceans.

The 2017 Sea Youth Rise Up delegation brought together an outstanding group of seven young conservation leaders working to improve the health of the ocean and empower others to do the same. Taking action to address diverse marine conservation and societal challenges, these young people reminded the world about the important role youth leadership plays in ocean conservation and they continue to inspire all of us to renew our dedication to protecting our blue planet.
