A day for Humanity to Appreciate, Dedicate and Celebrate the Gift of the Ocean to Mankind. “ We are not the owner nor the maker of the ocean but are the guardian and user. It produces and provides for us while connecting all continents of the world together. It is our Home”
It is also home to many other living things.

Concept Brief
The ocean connects, sustains, and supports us all. Yet its health is at a tipping point and so is the well-being of all that depends on it. As the past years have shown us, we need to work together to create a new balance with the ocean that no longer depletes its bounty but instead restores its vibrancy and brings it new life.
Join us as we shed light on the communities, ideas, and solutions that are working together to protect and revitalize the ocean and everything it sustains. (United Nations Division for Ocean Affairs and the Law of the Sea, Office of Legal Affairs)
