Since 1992, World Oceans Day is celebrated every year on June 8. It is a critical environmental topic. It is a day to raise awareness about how we, no matter where we live, are connected to the oceans and what we can do to protect ocean habitats. Today it aims to focus on new ideas, technologies, and products for more sustainable management of our ocean resources.

It is widely recognized that the Earth's oceans are essential to human survival. There are millions of people who are dependent on fish and other marine animals for their food. We get food and medicine from a deep blue color, and this helps keep the climate under control. We know that human activities have negatively affected the health of the oceans: pollution, overfishing, acidification of seawater due to increased carbon dioxide, ocean warming, and habitat destruction. There is a lot we can do to repair the damage.

Importance of World Oceans Day

1. Perspective:

For many people, the beach means having fun in the sun. But sometimes we don't even think about what this water means to us. It is essential to the biosphere and we want to ensure that future generations can enjoy it. The creatures that live there, too. And when you look into the distance and see ships heading who knows where it's a powerful reminder that we're all connected.

2. Motivation:

Much of our waste is not biodegradable and leaves the ocean to clean up messes. Throwing recyclables into the appropriate container is a good first step, but we have to bring the habit back home. Even if you don't live near the coast, let your friends and family know how recycling puts a big smile on the face of the ocean.

3. Majesty:

We never need an excuse to go ashore, but we'll gladly take one. Sometimes, we just have to put pressure on ourselves to see how beautiful the place is. The sunset reflected in the water looks like something out of a painting. It gives us the perfect opportunity to clear our heads and make us relax.

How to celebrate World Oceans Day

1. Make a Pledge:

We must come together to protect the oceans. We must pledge to work for the sustainable development of nature.

2. Clean up the Beach:

Keep sustainability in mind when visiting to celebrate the beautiful surroundings. For activities like lighting the barbecue, we must go to the store to buy supplies with a reusable carry bag instead of a plastic bag. For throwing a party, we must bring our dishes instead of throwing away plastic plates. After thinking a lot about saving, it would be a shame to throw everything away and throw everything ashore. So, clean up after the party and hope others must also follow this.

3. “We are blue, tell two” challenge:

However, we must learn two facts about the ocean to tell others about them. Perhaps the best idea is not to tell the same facts to the person who taught us, but the repetition leads us to reality. This is called the "We're Blue, Say Two" challenge.
