World Ocean Day at Georgia Aquarium

World Ocean Day is an annual global observance on June 8 dedicated to the ocean — its health, its ecosystems, and its relationship to human life on the planet. Georgia Aquarium, as one of the largest aquariums in the world and a genuine institution for marine science education, uses the occasion to highlight its conservation work and deepen the visitor experience around the ocean ecosystems it houses.

Special programming for World Ocean Day at the Aquarium typically includes keeper talks, marine science presentations, and themed experiences across its signature galleries — the Ocean Voyager tunnel with its whale sharks and manta rays, the Tropical Diver gallery, and the other habitats that make Georgia Aquarium one of downtown Atlanta's most distinctive destinations for any visit.
