On World Ocean Day, 8th June, people around our blue planet will be coming together to celebrate and honour our oceans. The ocean connects us all, between countries and across the world and by working together, we must protect and restore our oceans. The conservation action focus this year is 'Strong Marine Protected Areas for Our Blue Planet'.
To teach your students about World Ocean Day, we have several resources on Purple Mash that you can use.
