The Ocean Project is all about collaborative conservation. Youth Ocean Carnival is uniting with The Ocean Project as a Global Goal Partner in our endeavour to support Olympic Diver Sam Fricker and his vision for a world-first Youth Ocean Carnival SYD24 in Sydney, Australia.

This partnership has enormous potential, as other youth-focused organisations around the world benefit from this joint venture through the 2,000+ Youth Network Organisations associated with The Ocean Project.

The Ocean Project believes in the power of partnership to accelerate progress towards a healthy blue planet. We are proud to be aligned with them as we move forward towards the United Nations 30×30 Goal.

Since launching the global coordination of World Ocean Day in 2002, The Ocean Project has continuously built on this unique opportunity to raise the profile of the ocean, culminating in a United Nations-recognised event that began in 2009. It is now a global celebration of our shared ocean.
