Worlds Oceans Day - Sunday 8 June 2025

 
World Oceans Day occurs on Sunday 8 June 2025. Oceans Day was first declared on 8 June, 1992 at Rio de Janeiro during the Global Forum, a parallel event at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) where non-government organisation and civil society had the opportunity to express their views on environmental issues. Since that time, Oceans Day has been held each year with a different themed focus.  

The theme for this year is Wonder.

"Wonder is the foundation of scientific knowledge, the allure behind exploration, the curiosity that drives innovation, and the seed of traditional wisdom. In the face of increasingly daunting challenges, the act of wondering serves to remind us that we are part of something bigger. It wakes us up to our inherent connection to the earth and to each other, expands our understanding of what is possible, empowers innovation and prioritizes decision-making for collective well-being".
