We created the World Ocean Day Youth Advisory Council 2016 to help develop World Ocean Day into a unique way to connect and unite youth around the world for a better future with a healthier ocean.    The Council helps shape the development and increase the impact of World Ocean Day in June and throughout the year, by  helping shape and message around the Action Theme, leading youth-focused initiatives, and engaging all generations to help protect and restore our ocean and stabilize the climate.    Applications to join the Council for a one-year term open once per year, at the end of June.
