The 2023 United Nations World Oceans Day theme is here! Planet Ocean: Tides are Changing. This #UNworldoceansday it's time to put the ocean first. The ocean covers the majority of the earth, but we have only explored a small portion of its waters. Despite humanity’s utter reliance on it, and compared to the breadth and depth of what it gives us, the ocean receives only a fragment of our attention and resources in return.

This World Oceans Day, the tides are changing. In celebration of the United Nations World Oceans Day 2023 theme, Planet Ocean, we are joining forces with decision makers, international civil servants, indigenous leaders, scientists, private sector executives, celebrities and youth activists, to underscore how earth is more than it may seem and to finally put the ocean first.

Register your attendance for the virtual event at unworldoceansday.org and add the event to your calendar.

Join us as we generate a new wave of excitement towards protecting the ocean and the entirety of our blue planet.
