🦈🌊WORLD OCEANS DAY

World Oceans Day 2025 will be observed on Sunday, June 8, with the theme “Sustainable Fishing Means More.” This theme emphasizes the importance of responsible fishing practices to maintain healthy marine ecosystems, support biodiversity, and ensure food security for future generations. 

This year's celebration holds special significance as it coincides with the opening of the 2025 United Nations Ocean Conference, taking place from June 9 to 13 in Nice, France. The alignment of these two major events presents a unique opportunity to amplify global efforts toward ocean conservation. 

World Oceans Day serves as a global platform to raise awareness about the critical role oceans play in sustaining life on Earth. Covering over 70% of the planet's surface, oceans regulate climate, produce oxygen, and provide livelihoods for millions. However, they face threats from overfishing, pollution, and climate change. This day encourages individuals and communities worldwide to take action in protecting our oceans.

For those interested in participating, the World Ocean Day website offers a calendar of events, educational resources, and ideas for getting involved. Whether through local cleanups, educational programs, or advocacy, there are numerous ways to contribute to the health of our oceans.
