Celebrate World Ocean Day (8 June) with us and discover why protecting our oceans matters now more than ever. This year’s theme, Strong Marine Protected Areas for Our Blue Planet, focuses on the need to better safeguard ocean habitats. From local shorelines to the high seas, so marine life can recover, thrive and support a healthy planet.

With global efforts growing to protect at least 30% of oceans by 2030, and new international agreements helping to conserve areas beyond national waters, this is a pivotal moment for ocean protection.

Join us for a special film screening and a Long Reef intertidal talk, where you’ll explore the richness of our local marine environment and learn how stronger protections, both locally and globally, can make a real difference.
