World Oceans Day is celebrated annually on June 8 to raise awareness about the importance of the oceans and promote their sustainable management. Established in 2008 by the United Nations, this day encourages individuals, communities, and organizations to engage in activities that protect marine environments and biodiversity. The theme for World Oceans Day changes each year, focusing on various aspects such as pollution, climate change, and marine conservation. Events around the world include beach clean-ups, educational programs, and advocacy campaigns aimed at fostering a deeper understanding of the vital role that oceans play in our planet's health and well-being.
