The Most Important Ocean & Marine Life Awareness Days - Google Calender

What are the most important ocean and marine life awareness days?
When is World Oceans Day?

At Surface Interval, we live and breathe the ocean—but we kept running into the same problem.

We knew about important days like World Oceans Day or World Turtle Day, but they’d sneak up on us. Sometimes we’d post something last minute. Other times, we’d miss them completely. And that felt off—for a brand rooted in conservation.

So we made a fix.
A simple, practical solution:
An Ocean Awareness Google Calendar.

It’s now packed with all the major (and lesser-known) marine awareness days—spanning species, ecosystems, climate issues, and action moments. And we made it public so you can use it too.

From Sea Slugs to Sharks, These Are the Days to Know

Some days are big and global—like World Oceans Day (June 8), Reef Awareness Day (June 1), or Coastal Cleanup Day. Others are delightfully specific, like Dugong Day, Fintastic Friday, or the surprisingly real International Sawfish Day.

Each one is a chance to highlight what’s often overlooked.

We love these days not just for the content ideas (though let’s be honest, the sea otter memes kind of write themselves), but because they spark conversations that matter.

You can now add our calendar to your own Google Calendar with one click:
