National Sea Day

Reservas da Biosfera 16 de November, 2024

Today, we celebrate National Sea Day, observed since 1994, when the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea came into effect.

The sea plays an essential role in preserving ecosystems, directly and indirectly influencing biodiversity, climate, and nutrient cycles on a global scale.


In Portuguese Biosphere Reserves, the ocean holds a prominent position, supporting a vast marine biodiversity and providing essential services to local communities (economic, social, environmental, and cultural), with significance at both national and global levels.
