The project comprises six complementary experiences: exploration of the rocky intertidal zone\, an introductory snorkeling workshop\, a public panel interview with local experts\, a public forum on the legal defense of whales and marine ecosystems\, a private networking dinner with sponsors\, and a follow-up educational maritime trip around San Carlos seascapes. The initiative promotes ocean literacy\, experiential learning\, safety in coastal and marine activities\, critical thinking\, civic engagement\, and a conservation ethic based on respect for the biodiversity of the Gulf of California. The event aims to establish itself as a permanent regional platform for education\, ocean culture\, and collective action for marine protection.

Join us on: \nDate: 8 June 2026\nTime: 3:00 to 4:00 PM EAT\nLocation: Online\, register\nThe Ocean is at the heart of life on Earth: our food\, our climate\, our economies\, and the well-being of billions of people worldwide\, all depend on Ocean and its health. \nYet pollution\, unsustainable development\, weak cooperation\, and limited financing continue to place growing pressure on marine and coastal ecosystems. These challenges require stronger partnerships\, long-term investment\, and practical source-to-sea solutions that countries can sustain over time. \nIf many efforts are yet to be done\, the world is now responding. \nCountries have made bold commitments. Regional frameworks are in place. Science and financing tools are stronger than ever. It is now time to build on that foundation and tostrengthen regional cooperation to turn ocean commitments into real results. \nThis World Oceans Day webinar brings together policymakers\, global and regional organizations\, financial institutions\, and technical experts to explore practical ways to strengthen ocean protection\, resilience\, and investment through cooperation\, science\, and partnerships. \nKey topics include: \n✅ Strengthening regional ocean governance through the Regional Seas Conventions and Action Plans\n✅ Reducing pollution through the Global Programme of Action for the Protection of the Marine Environment from Land-based Activities\n✅ Using science and data for better decisions\n✅ Investing in coral reefs\, mangroves\, and seagrasses\n✅ Turning commitments into measurable results URL:https://unworldoceansday.org/calendar/reimagining-ocean-action/ ORGANIZER;CN="United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)":MAILTO:regionalseas@un.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20260618T160000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20260618T203000 DTSTAMP:20260608T125451Z CREATED:20260528T101035Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260608T125451Z UID:31819-1781798400-1781814600@unworldoceansday.org SUMMARY:Blue Innovation Reception for the Nature Pledge in Panama on Peace Boat DESCRIPTION:As part of the 123rd Global Voyage\, Peace Boat will next visit the port of Cristobal on Thursday June 18.
