Globally coordinated and promoted by The Ocean
Project since 2002, World Ocean Day is an annual celebration on 8 June as well
as a call for ocean and climate action throughout the year. Starting in 2008,
the United Nations officially recognized World Ocean Day. This unique
celebration brings together thousands of organizations and millions of
individuals each year.
Youth play an increasingly important role in the development
and growth of World Ocean Day in June, helping to raise the profile of the
importance of our one shared ocean that connects us all. No matter where we
live, we all depend on a healthy ocean to survive and thrive, and safeguarding
the ocean will help us secure a stable climate into the future.
Celebrating World Ocean Day is an opportunity to
not only celebrate the incredible life that inhabits the wider global ocean and
seas, but to also raise awareness of and facilitate impactful discussions on the
issues impacting the ocean. This year’s theme is to make people aware and
inspire to protect at least 30% of our lands, waters, and ocean by 2030
(“30x30”).
RSCP Calicut joins the global celebration to make
the people aware of the importance of Ocean and impact on our lives. There is a
gallery titled ‘Hall of Ocean’ at its campus to educate one and all on
ocean science. On June 8, 2023 this centre will organise special guided tours
of its Ocean Gallery followed by a written quiz contest for the general public.
There will be doubt clearance and kids’ activity session. A popular lecture
titled 'The Ocean of Life' will be organised at 2:30 pm in the RSCP
auditorium.
Further, on June 12, 2023 (Monday) from 3 pm to 5
pm, an outdoor session titled ‘Treasures in the Beach’ will be organised
at South Beach Kozhikode where people will be encouraged for collecting
treasure of the ocean from the beach and identification of the same by
experts.
Participation is open to all, but with registration.
