On 8 June and throughout the year, we work in collaboration with youth leaders and a wide range of organizations.
Powered by the World Ocean Day Youth Advisory Council, we help unite and rally the world to protect and restore our blue planet! World Ocean Day supports collaborative conservation, working with its global network of youth leaders and 2,000+ organizations in 180 countries, and providing free and customizable resources.
Following a four-year petition drive with our international partners, the United Nations officially recognized 8 June as World Ocean Day in 2008.
"Embracing positive news isn't just a luxury; it's a conscious investment in our well-being. Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness. In a world filled with challenges, it's essential to read uplifting stories that reshape our mindset and empower us to build a brighter future."
