On World Ocean Day, 8th June, people around our blue planet will be coming together to celebrate and honour our ocean. The ocean connects us all, between countries and across the world and by working together, we must protect and restore our oceans. The 2024 Action Theme is 'Catalyzing Action for Our Ocean and Climate', whilst continuing to support the growing 30x30 movement, which was last year's theme (to protect at least 30% of our blue planet by 2030).
