World Ocean Day!

Every year, we celebrate our oceans on June 8th. This year’s focus for World Ocean Day is “Catalyzing Action for Our Ocean & Climate”. The global collaboration(s) of World Ocean Day began in 2002, and was officially recognized as an international day by the United Nations in 2008. Celebrations and advocacy campaigns take place across the globe.

If you’d like to advocate for our blue planet every day of the year, here’s an easy-to-follow monthly guide to help focus your work. If you’re looking for some amazing footage and cool ocean facts, check out the BBCEarth’s “Blue Planet” nature series!

Happy Almost Summer! Here are some good summer-themed poems and quotes.
