The Ocean Deserves Its Own Day! And June 8 Is That Day: World Oceans Day

Oceans make up nearly two-thirds of earth's surface.

The ocean is the heart of our planet. Every June 8th we celebrate World Oceans Day, a United Nations recognized day of celebration and action to honor our ocean and do something to protect it! The Ocean Project has been the lead organization promoting and coordinating this event since 2002, in partnership with many other organizations and networks, including World Ocean Network and the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.

Healthy oceans, healthy planet

Whether you're in the marine industry or a recreational boater, whether you simply enjoy frolicking in the surf or even just sitting at home and watching Shark Week ... it's obvious: the world's oceans are the essence of our lives and one of the Earth's most vital resources.

In the words of the late John F. Kennedy, “We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch, we are going back from whence we came.”

So, today and everyday, let's all respect and protect our oceans. How are you helping our planet’s blue heart? Here's one way you can - take the Better Bag Challenge pledge! You won't regret it. And we'll see you out there on the wide, blue wonder, mates.
