World Ocean Day 2023

World Ocean Day aims to unite the world to protect our blue planet. This year, the United Nations will host the celebration of the annual event on 8 June 2023, hosted in-person at the UN Headquarters in New York to be broadcasted live. It will highlight the 2023 theme of "Planet Ocean: tides are changing".

The event will focus around how Earth is more than it may seem, and generate a new wave of excitement towards cherishing and protecting the ocean and the entirety of our blue planet. You can tune in by clicking here.
