World Oceans Day has been unofficially celebrated every 8 June since its original proposal in 1992 by Canada at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.[1] It was officially recognized by the United Nations in 2008.[2] Since then it has been coordinated internationally by The Ocean Project and the World Ocean Network with greater success and global participation each year.
The World Oceans Day 2013 & 2014 theme is "Together we have the power to protect the ocean".
