World Oceans Day, observed annually on June 8th, is a global event dedicated to raising awareness about the vital role oceans play in sustaining life on Earth.
Established in 1992 during the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, this day emphasizes the importance of oceans as a source of biodiversity, food, and climate regulation, serving as a reminder of the interconnectedness between humans and oceans and highlighting the urgent need to protect and conserve marine ecosystems.
From beach clean-ups and educational programs, to policy advocacy and sustainable practices, World Oceans Day encourages individuals and communities to take a proactive stance in preserving the health of our oceans from threats such as pollution, overfishing, and climate change.
