World Ocean Day
June 8
Oceans are immensely important and vital to humans. It feeds us, producing vast amounts of fish and seafood. We sail it, to bring people and cargo to and from places around the world. There’s recreational boating, too. We swim in it. Oceans are so important to us, that it is only fitting that we celebrate World Ocean Day. This is a special global day to celebrate our oceans and to work towards maintaining and improving their health and cleanliness. As the health of our oceans goes, so goes the health of the entire planet.
Oceans comprise about 71% of the surface of the earth. With their immense size, you would think it is very hard to pollute our oceans. Well, we happen to be doing a pretty good job polluting them.
