It’s World Oceans Day!

Oceans Day was first declared on the 8th June 1992, and it was designated by the United Nations as “World Oceans Day” in 2008 – a day to raise global awareness of our oceans.

Thank you for being a part of our Crew! Happy World Oceans Day!

In Australia, the ocean is a vital part of many of our lives, and where profound experiences and memories are forged – it’s also the engine of our survival.

Covering an area larger than our landmass, Australia’s marine jurisdiction is a natural blue wonder that sustains our economy, our climate, and our very identity.

This World Oceans Day triple your impact to protect our most biologically important, culturally significant and beloved ocean and coastal areas and wildlife for generations to come.

Celebrate this World Oceans Day with a donation.
