Today is , a day to honour our ocean's critical role in sustaining life on Earth and to inspire positive change to keep our oceans beautiful for generations to come.

The Sargasso Sea surrounding our island supports an ecosystem rich in marine diversity, ocean research, and conservation research. With healthy coral reefs swimming with life, unique swimming holes, and centuries of maritime history, Bermuda truly embodies the spirit of ocean connection and care.
