World Ocean Day (8 June) is a powerful reminder of the critical role the ocean plays in our lives and the need to protect it. In honor of this occasion, we have gathered four recent uplifting ocean news stories that highlight the positive impact of conservation efforts. From the remarkable achievements of The Ocean Cleanup to the discovery of new octopus species off Costa Rica, these stories showcase the potential for positive change. As we celebrate these milestones, it's clear that collective action can make a significant difference in safeguarding our ocean and its biodiversity. Join us in understanding the impact of plastic waste on marine environments and take part in our free online materials and workshops to help protect our ocean today!
