Oceans Week Victoria is a volunteer initiative to bring our wider community together around World Oceans Day (WOD) to raise awareness and turn it into positive actions to protect and restore our shared ocean. 

This means businesses, non-profits, schools, scientists, Indigenous groups, youth, residents and visitors, all taking part in a variety of events including film, art, music, exhibits, paddling excursions, beach clean-ups, and more.

Each year, the United Nations selects a theme to engage the global community. This year’s theme is “The Ocean: Life and Livelihoods—Shedding light on the wonder of the ocean and how it is our lifesource, supporting humanity and every other organism on earth.”
