On June 8th, we celebrate World Oceans Day—a day to recognize the vital role our oceans play for life on Earth and to inspire action for their protection.
Why not send a ThankU on this special day to show your appreciation and support ocean conservation?
World Oceans Day was first proposed at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 and has been officially recognized by the United Nations since 2009. Its purpose is to highlight the importance of healthy oceans for our climate, biodiversity, and well-being, and to raise awareness about the threats they face, such as pollution, overfishing, and climate change.
More than 80% of the ocean remains unexplored. Despite covering over 70% of Earth’s surface, the vast majority of the ocean is still a mystery to us, making it one of the least understood places on our planet. The ocean is home to the majority of animal life on Earth. While oceans contain only about 1% of the planet’s total biomass, they are home to around 78% of all animal biomass, making them the largest habitat for animals on Earth.

Let’s use June 8th to say ThankU—for our oceans, for the organizations making a difference, and for every action that helps protect our blue planet.
