National Marine Week
July 24 - August 8
Contrary to the title, National Marine Week is celebrated for a fortnight from July 24th to August 8th to appreciate the magnificent sea animals and plants that exist in the United Kingdom on a national scale.
During #NationalMarineWeek, people from all over the United Kingdom may come out to explore their local shoreline as the retreating sea reveals its treasures. Take time out to protect and appreciate marine life for the next two weeks.
National Marine Week was organized to motivate people to better understand and care for the ocean. The holiday encourages us to appreciate and protect our oceans. During National Marine Week, people take time to focus on how vital the oceans are to humanity, given that they constitute the largest ecosystem on the planet. In addition to containing 97% of the planet’s water, they also make up 80% of the planet’s biodiversity, with more than 30,000 species.
