The event was celebrated on June 8.

The theme for this year’s World Ocean Day is ‘revitalisation’: collective action for the ocean and by observing this day, ‘we hope to shed light on the communities, ideas, and solutions that are working together to protect and revitalise the ocean and everything it sustains’.
