List of international days
The purpose of the World Day is to inform the public of the impact of human actions on the oceans, develop a global movement of citizens for the ocean, and mobilize and unite the world's population in a project for the sustainable management of the world's oceans.
World Oceans Day reminds everyone of the key role of oceans in daily life, as oceans are a major source of food and medicine and an important part of the biosphere.
This year, the United Nations will host the first celebration that combines activities on the ground and activities on the Internet within the framework of the festive event that will be held on June 8, 2022, which will be held at the United Nations Headquarters in New York and broadcast on the Internet.
Produced by the Division for Ocean Affairs and the Law of the Sea of the United Nations Office of Legal Affairs, in partnership with the non-profit organization Oceanic Global, this year's annual program will celebrate the wonders of the ocean as a source of life that sustains humanity and all other living things on Earth.
In addition, the winners of the 2022 photography competition to highlight the beauty of the oceans will be announced on the same day.
