Dear fellow Citizens of the Ocean,
This Sunday, June 8th, we celebrate World Oceans Day, a date designated by the United Nations to recognize our relationship with the ocean through global connection. Around the world, through the
World Ocean Network,
The Ocean Project, and many other organizations with ocean interests, events will take place to highlight the value of ocean resources. There will be maritime festivals, beach clean-ups, school and family projects, demonstrations, and environmental presentations the world over – in Africa, Asia, Oceana, Europe and the Americas. What was once a bright idea is now an international event that for one brief moment focuses world interest on the ocean and its benefit for all mankind.
Every Day is Ocean Day
We honor and celebrate World Oceans Day every 8th of June, but why not share the ocean message with every one?
Every Day.
Why not subscribe to the
World Ocean Radio podcast? Take a moment to introduce World Ocean Radio to your favorite ocean organizations, local and college radio stations, and social media outlets?
Every Day.
Why not promote
Ocean Literacy at your local school, through an environmental organization, or community group?
Every Day.
Why not read and share
World Ocean Journal? Let's share solutions, articles, and ideas. Let's build our network of
Citizens of the Ocean.
Every Day.
Why not advocate for ocean organizations and ocean issues to local, national, and other allies around the world? Why not share news, images and messages through our growing networks on
Facebook,
Twitter,
LinkedIn,
Instagram,
Google+ and other web-based communications tools?
Every Day.
The ocean is in crisis. One day is not enough. While we hope you and your family will get out and enjoy ocean-friendly activities this Sunday, we also ask that you pledge to work toward a sustainable ocean
every day. We must commit to ocean advocacy, to creativity and new ideas, to diversity and to substantive change.
Every Day.
Every Day is Ocean Day.
Best Wishes,
The World Ocean Observatory Team
