Sponsor a public lecture about the ocean by an environmental leader, educator, or scientist. Focus the lecture topic around this year’s World Ocean Day action theme, catalyzing action for our ocean and climate and/or a specific local issue of interest. Include a questions and answers session afterwards to encourage lasting community involvement. And no matter what the topic, everyone can help if you include the opportunity for people to better understand the significance of catalyzing action for our ocean and climate.
Alternatively, show a screening of an ocean lecture. Here are some ocean-themed TED Talks, and this TEDx Talk about the role that youth play in the climate movement!
Host a book reading (and afterwards a signing) with local authors who have written about the ocean. Local bookstores should be able to give you leads on who to contact in your area.
Alternatively, gather volunteers to read portions of an ocean book of your choosing such as:
