World Ocean Day is a day that is recognized annually in the month of June. The concept was originally proposed for June 8, in 1992, by Canada's International Centre for Ocean Development, and is now an internationally recognized series of events to bring attention to the value of marine life and ocean sustainability around the globe.

Locally, here's an art exhibit and concert to help amplify conservation efforts:
