What is UN World Oceans Day?
World Oceans Day, celebrated annually on June 8, is a global effort to raise awareness of the benefit humanity derives from the ocean, our individual and collective duty to use its resources sustainably, and mobilize action to preserve the ocean. Millions of people around the world partake in events throughout June organized by the UN, civil society, academia, governments and the private sector.
