We work in partnership with youth leaders, zoos, aquariums, museums, and other youth-focused organizations, as well as a huge range of diverse organizations and businesses from all sectors in a growing global network. Together, we effectively engage the public, inform policymakers, and unite the world to protect and restore our shared ocean and create a stable climate. Join the growing global movement in June and continue to grow the engagement and action year-round!

Back in 2016, they added a World Ocean Day Youth Advisory Council.  Back in 2019, there were 2000+ events and 140+ countries that participated.  In 2020, it took a Conservation Action Focus of protecting 30% of our lands and ocean by 2030.  Recently, world leaders made a global commitment to protect 30% of our blue planet by 2030 (30x30).  To create a healthy ocean with abundant wildlife and to stabilize the climate, it’s critical that 30% of our planet’s lands, waters, and ocean are protected.
