World Maritime Day 2007
Annotation:
The theme for World Maritime Day 2007 is "IMO's response to current environmental challenges". This will give us the opportunity - at a time when society considers it imperative to find sustainable and lasting solutions to redress the negative impact of human activity on the environment - to increase awareness about the threat to it stemming from shipping operations and, by taking appropriate preventive and, where necessary, remedial action, to show that the maritime sector does care about the environment and is, indeed, already at the forefront of that challenge.
Annotation:
In the last quarter of a century, shipping's environmental credentials have come under sharper scrutiny than ever before and this is something that is set to continue and increase. So we cannot afford to sit back and be complacent. As part of our action plan, IMO will be promoting its excellent environmental record, along with the development of new standards to address all possible sources of marine and atmospheric pollution.

World Maritime Day will be celebrated on Thursday, 27 September 2007.
