World Oceans Day is celebrated annually on 8 June to raise awareness of the vital role of oceans in sustaining life on Earth and to encourage action for their protection and sustainable use.

The day provides an opportunity to highlight the importance of oceans in biodiversity, marine life conservation and the global economy.
It is a reminder of the threats facing our oceans, including plastic pollution, overfishing, habitat destruction and climate change.
