World Oceans Day (June 8 every year) is an opportunity for the international community to raise global awareness of the important role of the ocean in human life.
In 2025, the theme chosen by the United Nations is Wonder: Sustaining What Sustains Us, a powerful inspirational message, arousing the responsibility to join hands to preserve the ocean, calling for coordinated activities between countries and organizations to protect marine ecosystems for all humanity in the context of the ocean facing serious challenges due to climate change and human impacts.
Responding to World Oceans Day, Vietnam Sea and Islands Week (from June 1 to 8 every year) is an important occasion to promote and spread the spirit of love for the sea, demonstrate the responsibility to preserve the environment and marine resources, and strongly affirm the determination to sustainably develop marine economic sectors associated with protecting environmental resources and national sovereignty at sea.
