World Ocean Day unites and rallies the world to protect and restore our blue planet! 

From the official World Oceans Day website, "Since launching global coordination in 2002, World Ocean Day has grown from an idea to thousands of events and millions of people reached each year. World Ocean Day catalyzes collective action for a healthy ocean and a stable climate, working in collaboration with youth leaders and a wide range of organizations. World Ocean Day belongs to all groups and individuals, collectively, everywhere. It’s about how we can create a better future with an abundant ocean and a stable climate, by working together."

Tell us how you protect the oceans! Do you minimize your single use plastics? Make sure you pick up your litter, so it doesn't end up in the ocean? Does your family choose sustainable seafood? Let us know! Send your list of ways you and your family help the oceans to natureswap@rwpzoo.org to earn 5000 points in June, and check out the fun World Oceans Day activities below!
