Each year on 8 June we celebrate World Oceans Day and raise awareness about the importance of ending overfishing.
Our ocean covers 70% of the planet and supports life as we know it. Every second breath we take comes from the ocean. However, our oceans are in crisis. They are being threatened by pollution such as abandoned fishing nets, overfishing, and the effects of climate change.
We know the problems. We know the solutions.
World Oceans Day is a day to take action and raise awareness.
