What is World Ocean Day?
World Ocean Day on June 8th was adopted by the UN General Assembly as a day to celebrate our shared connection to the ocean. Since then, it has become a global moment in the calendar for ocean advocates: consumers, NGOs, businesses, scientists and many high-profile champions to highlight their commitment to the ocean.
Save the date: Join our campaign on June 8th
World Ocean Day is a time to take action. It takes all of us to show how sustainable fishing contributes to protecting our ocean.
Together, we can spread the word and help people understand how much more sustainable fishing means.
Join us whether you are a consumer, an ocean NGO, a business, a scientist, a teacher or an ocean champion.
