On June 8, 2023, the Oregon Zoo will celebrate World Oceans Day, highlighting the wonders of the marine world and what we can do to protect it.

“Animals depend on healthy ocean habitats to thrive, and so do people,” said Kelly Gomez, who oversees the zoo’s marine life area. “We hope all our guests will be inspired to take action and come together for wildlife.”
