World Oceans Day 2018 – a global day of ocean celebration – takes place every year on June 8. The World Ocean Project first organized the day in 2002 as a time to celebrate the oceans and take steps to protect ocean health. This year’s action focus is the same as the focus as 2018’s Earth Day: plastic pollution in the oceans. You can find out more here.
