What is World Oceans Day?
This year the United Nations has declared that June 8 will be an annual holiday to celebrate our oceans and their importance to us all. In this spirit, OceanHealth.Org partners with local conservation organizations to support events for World Oceans Day. Please visit http://www.oceanhealth.org and learn more about other events for World Oceans Day at http://www.oceandaysf.
June 8 is now recognized as World Oceans Day by the United Nations. After years of lobbying, the United Nations will officially recognize World Oceans Day on June 8, 2009. World Oceans Day is an opportunity to celebrate the more than 70 percent of our planet that is a critical part of the sustenance and recreation for more than half of the world’s population.

Created in 1992 at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro – although not yet officially designated by the United Nations – World Oceans Day is an opportunity each year to celebrate our world ocean and our personal connection to the sea. The Ocean Project, working closely with the World Oceans Network, helps each year to coordinate events and activities with aquariums, zoos, museums, conservation organizations, universities, schools, businesses. Together with the World Ocean Network, we are also working to have the United Nations officially designate World Oceans Day as June 8th each year. Take time to do something good for our ocean: sign the petition today!
