World Oceans Day is almost here!
What can I do?
This June 8th, challenge yourself to make a 2013 – 2014 commitment to protect the ocean. The theme is about making lasting change and it’s up to people like you to rise up and be the voice for the ocean all year long.
This two year-long commitment can be anything you imagine. Read on for some ideas.
Make an ocean promise
We’re holding an ocean promise drive! Help out by asking people who attend your event to promise to change one thing in their life to protect the ocean. Visit the page to learn more.
Educational
Share the knowledge. Protect the ocean and spread the word about conservation with these fun, and educational, resources and event ideas.
Wear Blue, Tell Two
This World Oceans Day, wear blue clothing to raise awareness for ocean conservation and share two ocean conservation facts with someone in your community.
Celebrate
There’s an ocean of opportunities for celebrations!
Ocean Action
Speak up for the ocean! The ocean has been long mischaracterized as immune to harm by humans. It’s up to us to dispel this myth and keep the ocean healthy. Whether you’re interested in politics or hands-on volunteer work, there’s a way to get involved.
