World Oceans Day

The day of the sea has its origin in the Earth Summit on 8 June 1992 in Rio de Janeiro. Since 2009, June 8th is celebrated as the Day of the Sea of ​​the United Nations. The oceans are seen as important for food security, health and survival of all life, for the environment and as a critical part of the biosphere. The purpose is therefore to gain attention for the current challenges in the context of the oceans around the world.
