The 49th edition of Earth Day, the annual international event that aims to educate the public about the environmental threats to our world and effect change through public policy campaigns, will take place on April 22, 2019. Of course, while there is much work already being done to protect the environment, as celebrated at BOAT International's Ocean Awards each year, the danger is far from over – do your part by attending a charitable Earth Day event, shopping with the fashion and beauty brands helping save the oceans and beyond.

Created from a sustainable and recyclable alternative to vinyl, the installation will be accompanied by a week-long programme of talks, workshops and wellness sessions.
