Celebrating World Ocean Day with Blue Ocean Dive Resort
Discover the significance of ocean conservation and our commitment to protecting marine ecosystems.
What is World Ocean Day?
World Ocean Day, observed annually on 8 June, is a global initiative that unites individuals and organisations in recognising the critical role oceans play in sustaining life on earth. Established in 1992 and officially recognised by the United Nations in 2008, this day emphasises the importance of ocean conservation and sustainable management of marine resources.
2025 Theme: “Sustainable Fishing Means More”
The 2025 theme, “Sustainable Fishing Means More,” highlights the necessity of responsible fishing practices to ensure the health and prosperity of our oceans. Overfishing and destructive methods like bottom trawling threaten marine biodiversity and the livelihoods of coastal communities. By adopting sustainable fishing, we can protect marine ecosystems and support global food security.
Why World Ocean Day Matters to Us
At Blue Ocean Dive Resort, located in Umkomaas on South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal coast, the ocean is our lifeblood. We are privileged to operate near the Aliwal Shoal, one of the world’s top dive sites, and witness the annual Sardine Run, a spectacular marine event. These experiences underscore the importance of preserving our oceans for future generations.

We are dedicated to protecting marine environments through:
- Eco-Friendly Practices: Implementing sustainable operations to minimise our environmental impact.
