World Oceans Day (WOD) is today, June 8th! This year’s theme is Youth: the Next Wave for Change.
World Oceans Day is a chance for people around the world to celebrate the ocean that connects all of us. Since 2002, The Ocean Project and The World Ocean Network have worked to make the day a success.

You can clean up your local water source, do a fun activity with children to teach them about the ocean, wear blue clothing and share two ocean conservation facts with your friends and family, or even wear a red cap on June 11th to honor ocean conservationist Jacque Yves Cousteau.
