To do so, the Council uses World Oceans Day to rally the world on and around 8 June and provides opportunities for continued engagement and action year-round.
The Council works closely with The Ocean Project and its global partner network to help shape the development of World Oceans Day and expand its reach and impact by providing new and unique perspectives, ideas, and recommendations for innovative and effective engagement with youth and others from all sectors involved in celebrating World Oceans Day in June. Council members help lead efforts that inspire and support youth and society as a whole to protect and restore our shared ocean.
Council members use their personal networks and connections to help spread the message about World Oceans Day, its annual conservation engagement focus, and opportunities for action at individual, community, and societal levels. Council members work individually and collectively to empower others – especially youth – to enact conservation-focused initiatives in their communities. To do so, they develop youth-focused strategies, resources, campaigns, and/or events to be implemented around World Oceans Day and with expanded opportunities for ocean conservation throughout the year.
