This year marks the 30th anniversary of World Ocean Day. Canada initially proposed the concept at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. The event was officially recognized by the United Nations General Assembly in 2008.

World Oceans Day highlights the vital role the Ocean has in our everyday life and to provide information about the different ways we can protect the Ocean.
