World Ocean Day 2026

Meet inspiring ocean heroes and take a moment to think about the ocean for yourself

Our ocean is under pressure. Over a third of global fish stocks are overfished. World Ocean Day is our moment to show how sustainable fishing contributes to protecting our ocean.

Meet inspiring ocean heroes and join in

Our video wall celebrates the passion, care and commitment of ocean heroes from around the world. Each reflection reminds us that together we can create a future where our oceans thrive. This World Ocean Day, take a moment to reflect on the ocean. Record your own video, share it on social media, and tag us @MSCecolabel.
