The United Nations has designated Monday, June 8th as the first World Oceans Day to raise awareness about important oceans issues.
 
Unfortunately, when World Oceans Day is celebrated next Monday, the United States will still remain outside the world's common legal framework regulating all uses of the oceans and promoting marine conservation, the Law of the Sea Treaty. 
 
The treaty's many environmental, economic, and national security benefits for the United States have been recognized by a broad array of experts, policymakers, civil society groups, and oceans industries, as well as the Obama Administration.
 
This diverse coalition of supporters provides a strong chance for the treaty to win the advice and consent of the Senate, but a small group of Senators has blocked a vote from taking place in the past.
 
In the spirit of World Oceans Day on June 8th, join UNA-USA and other organizations and activists around the country in a national day of action in support of the Law of the Sea Treaty!
