The Council is joining forces with partners across the city to mark World Oceans Day 2020.
While usually World Oceans Day would be marked by hundreds of people physically attending events by the waterside and beyond, this year will be a bit different because of the coronavirus pandemic.
But that doesn’t mean that this year there will be less – far from it. No, this year all of the events will be either online or resources used in schools or for home schooling, so that the excitement and intrigue of the ocean is still available to everyone.
Plymouth is to create the UK’s first ever National Marine Park.
Plymouth Sound National Marine Park will showcase to the world the unique assets that Britain’s Ocean City has to offer, including an estimated 1,000 different species of marine life. It will also help boost the economy, attract more visitors and attract funding for research.
