World Oceans Day is observed annually on June 8. This year, Swakopmund hosted an event themed “Sustaining what sustains us,” which emphasized the importance of protecting and preserving marine life for future generations.

All roads lead to Walvis Bay Independence Beach, where about 600 people are expected to attend the World Ocean Day celebrations hosted by the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources.

The annual World Ocean Day activities, which are slated for June 8, began with a procession in Henties Bay.

The joint march by Henties Bay Law Enforcement & Traffic, schoolchildren, and marine students from the UNAM Sam Nujoma Campus resumed from the Sport Field to the Henties Bay Tourism Centre.
