World Oceans Day

The United Nations celebrates World Oceans Day on 8 June.

From eating local, sustainably-sourced fish to stopping plastic pollution, we all have a role to play to #SaveOurOcean.

Oceans are considered to be the lungs of the planet, a critical part of the biosphere and are a major source of food and medicine. The purpose of the day is to inform and educate the public about the impact of human actions on the oceans, develop a worldwide movement of citizens and mobilise and unite the world’s population on a project for the sustainable management of the world’s oceans.
