The Ocean has provided nutritious food for nearly two million years. It contributes to the air we breathe, the food we eat, the livelihoods of millions of people, and so much more.

Let's keep it that way.


Here's how you can show your love for the Ocean...

I will:

  1. Support fishers who help protect the Ocean by making more sustainable seafood choices
  2. Seek out companies, products, and initiatives that help care for the Ocean, and,
  3. Learn more about the Ocean and share what I discover with my friends, family, and community. 

World Ocean Day

June is a time to celebrate our ocean and the major role it plays in everyday life - it's National Ocean Month, and June 8 is World Ocean Day. Our ocean feeds billions of people, covers over 70% of the planet, and provides 80% of the world’s biodiversity.

Choosing the MSC blue fish label when purchasing seafood is just one of many small actions you can take this World Ocean Day—and every day—to support sustainable fisheries and protect our ocean.

When we look after the ocean, the ocean looks after us.
