World Oceans Day is celebrated every year on 8 June to create awareness among people regarding the significance of oceans, and the importance of preserving and conserving oceanic resources.
The concept of celebrating ocean day on a global level was first proposed in 1992 by the Canadian government at the Earth Summit held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
“World Oceans Day” was officially recognised by the United Nations in 2008.
Every year, the World Oceans Day is celebrated under a specific theme. This year, the theme of World Oceans day 2023 is "Planet Ocean: The Tides are Changing."
