World Oceans Day

In short...

Themes: World Oceans Day (8 June every year); caring for the environment; plastic pollution; climate change; takingresponsibility.

Summary: World Oceans Day happens each year and is primarily intended to raise awareness of the threats facing the marine environment, which include plastic pollution, rising sea temperatures linked to climate change, and over-fishing. The assembly is particularly suitable on, or immediately before, World Oceans Day; however, it can be used at other times of the year to celebrate the beauty of the ocean, raise awareness of environmental issues, and curriculum objectives relating to the naming and locations of the five oceans.

The video

World Oceans Day happens each year on 8 June. It’s an opportunity to consider the threats faced by the oceans and to organise activities aimed at improving the marine environment. The world’s oceans face a number of threats including plastic pollution and rising sea temperatures caused by climate change. On World Oceans Day there are activities such as mass beach clean-ups and we can all help reduce plastic pollution by avoiding single-use plastic whenever possible and by making sure that as much plastic is recycled as possible. The oceans are essential to all life on the planet, so we must take care of them.
