Thanks to people like you, approximately 400 events were held in 70 countries to celebrate World Oceans Day. World Oceans Day was also buzzing online this year! In the past month, it was mentioned in 3,759 web articles and 8,417 tweets. We also doubled our fans on Facebook, so more people around the world can connect for the ocean! There were write-ups and mentions on sites like Treehugger, The Huffington Post, Mother Jones, Washington Post, the Toronto Star, and many more! We know that next year is going to be even bigger and better!Because of the importance of youth in helping with ocean conservation, the theme for 2012 remains the same:
Youth: the Next Wave for Change, so start planning your events for 2012 now. Visit this site often for new info, resources, and discussion about June 8th and ocean conservation.
