As of 2009, World Oceans Day has been officially recognized by the United Nations after being celebrated unofficially around the world since 1992. The day allows us to recognize the importance of the world’s oceans and to ensure that they are protected for future generations. Visit Oceans and Fisheries Canada’s World Oceans Day site and the David Suzuki Foundation for more info on events and celebrations.
