World Ocean Day

On June 8^th hundreds of communities around the globe will celebrate the 16^th annual World Ocean Day – an opportunity to celebrate our world ocean and our personal connection to the sea, and to raise awareness about the crucial role the ocean plays in our lives and the important ways people can help to protect it.

The Ocean Project – with 750 Partner aquariums, zoos, science museums and other educational organizations in all 50 states and 70 countries – is the largest network ever formed to focus on conservation of the ocean. The Ocean Project, working closely with the World Ocean Network each year, helps to coordinate events and activities to celebrate World Ocean Day with Partners and other organizations around the globe.
