STORYLINE:
On World Oceans Day, environmentalists, athletes, and ocean advocates gathered at São Conrado Beach in Rio de Janeiro for a community cleanup, culminating in a symbolic gesture of a human chain embracing the shoreline.

“The Hug” is a symbolic action that brings people together to raise awareness of ocean and marine life protection on World Oceans Day.

The initiative also supports Brazil’s local NGOs focused on environmental and social causes, encouraging collective action for a better future.

World Oceans Day was established by the United Nations in 2008 to create global awareness about the importance of protecting oceans and marine ecosystems.
