World Ocean Day

World Ocean Day Information from theoceanproject.org. The ocean is more than the world’s deep blue gem. It also provides more than half of the oxygen we breathe, helps regulate the world’s climate and provides the habitat for animals and plants that provide inspiration for potential medicinal discoveries. For a plethora of World Ocean Day activities, check out SeaWeb’s 10 Things You Can Do and The Ocean Project Web site or choose from the following categories below: Just for Kids Activities Outdoor Fun Activities Artistic Expression Activities Conservation Action Activities Educational Activities Individual Activities One fun and educational activity for you and your kids to enjoy is following the Great Turtle Race, a conservation effort of the Sea Turtle Restoration Project, the Leatherback Trust, Tagging of Pacific Predators, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and Drexel University. Pick a migrating leatherback sea turtle to follow on its trek across the Pacific Ocean toward the International Date Line.
