Oceans Day is celebrated every year on June 8th. It is a time to remember the
importance, beauty and power of our oceans worldwide. There are four main objectives
to World Oceans Day:
- It is a chance to change perspective - encouraging individuals to think
about what the ocean means to them and what it has to offer.
- It is a chance to learn - many people do not realize the wealth of diverse
and beautiful creatures and habitats that are found in our oceans, and how
our actions affect them.
- It is a chance to alter our ways - people can be encouraged to become caretakers
of our oceans and to conserve them for the future.
- It is a chance to celebrate - whether you live inland or on the coast you
can organize or participate in events focusing upon our oceans.
