World Ocean Day.



160_wod_logo_small.jpgWorld Ocean Day has been celebrated on June 8 since 1992. The Ocean Project has a list of resources for learning more about the ocean and how important it is to all of us.

Created in 1992 at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro - although not yet officially designated by the United Nations - World Ocean Day is an opportunity each year to celebrate our world ocean and our personal connection to the sea. The Ocean Project, working closely with the World Ocean Network, helps each year to coordinate events and activities with aquariums, zoos, museums, conservation organizations, universities, schools, businesses.

    World Ocean Day was also celebrated on May 22nd from Mexico to Alaska with over 10,000 kids working to protect whales. Whales were the theme of our aerial art because of this year’s meeting of the International Whaling Commission.
