Don’t live by the ocean? Never been sailing or surfing? Don’t worry, everyone can play an important role in protecting the ocean– on World Oceans Day and every day! Whether we live on the coast or miles away from the sea, we are all connected to the ocean and can take action to positively impact ocean health.

World Oceans Day is a great day for the public to visit their local aquarium or zoo to learn about and celebrate the incredible marine life in our oceans.

Every year, more and more divers, surfers, sailors and swimmers join in on World Oceans Day celebrations. Whether you choose to dive beneath the waves or stay above the surface this year, there are so many ways for athletes and recreational clubs and organizations to celebrate World Oceans Day.

Planning a World Oceans Day event for your workplace is a fun and effective way to get your employees and coworkers to participate in celebrating and protecting our ocean.

Coastal hotels and resorts have a chance to turn tourism into activism, empowering visitors by helping them to learn more about the challenges faced by the beautiful environments that surround them.

We've partnered with Splash and Bubbles to provide all new World Oceans Day resources for kids!

As part of our increasing emphasis on youth engagement for World Oceans Day, we’re excited to announce the launch of a free online resource to promote ocean awareness and literacy, the Global Ocean & Aquatic Library (GOAL). We hope this new resource will be of use to event organizers and others involved with World Oceans Day.

The World Oceans Day Youth Advisory Council will welcome 10 new members for 2018. The new members represent eight different countries and come from diverse backgrounds, however, they all share a common love for protecting the oceans.
