This World Ocean Day use our teaching and learning resources to show your class how sustainable fishing contributes to protecting our ocean for generations to come.

The ocean sustains our whole planet. It contributes to the air we breathe, the food we eat, the livelihoods of millions of people and so much more. And yet the health of our ocean is under threat from global warming and human activities such as overfishing.


Three things you can do to protect our ocean


  1. Inspire younger generations to learn more about the ocean and how they can protect it
  2. Promote ocean literacy in my classroom, finding ways to make the ocean relevant to the curriculum I teach and the materials I use
  3. Show younger generations how sustainable fishing helps protecting our ocean
