Through collaborations with local organisations, educators, scientists, and ocean advocates, IOI-SA celebrates key environmental events such as World Oceans Day, Marine Protected Areas Day, and International Coastal Cleanup Day.

These activities include educational workshops, beach clean-ups, community paddle outs, public talks, youth outreach programmes, and participation in conservation-focused community events. IOI-SA aims to create meaningful connections between people and the ocean while encouraging responsible stewardship and greater awareness of marine and coastal ecosystems.
