World Ocean Day provides a unique opportunity to raise the profile of the importance of the ocean on 8 June each year and help unite the world for conservation action.
The Ocean Project launched global coordination of World Ocean Day in 2002 and since then our lean team has worked behind the scenes to support the fast-growing World Ocean Day network to engage in collaborative conservation throughout the entire year. As part of our mission for our blue planet, we focus on supporting youth engagement, leadership, and advocacy.
Thank you for your support to protect and restore our shared ocean!
One ocean, one climate, one future – Together!
