Planet Community is celebrating World Oceans Day!

World Oceans Day is an international day that is celebrated annually on 8 June. In 1992, it was first proposed by Canada’s Centre for Ocean Development (ICOD) and the Ocean Institute of Canada (OIC) at the UN Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The Ocean Day Project started to promote this day globally and collaborate with international partners in 2002. Finally, "World Oceans Day" was officially recognised by the United Nations General Assembly  in 2008.
