World Oceans Day provides a unique opportunity to honor, help protect, and conserve the world’s oceans. Healthy world oceans is critical to our survival. Within our one ocean, there are five distinct oceans: the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Arctic Ocean, and Southern Ocean. They generate most of the oxygen we breathe, help feed us, regulate our climate, provides sea-lanes for international trade, and provide limitless inspiration! World Oceans Day is a global day of ocean celebration for a better future. World Oceans Day provides a unique opportunity to take personal and community action to conserve the ocean and its resources.
