🤔DID YOU KNOW:
- The ocean produces at least 50% of the planet’s oxygen?
- The ocean is key to our economy with an estimated 40 million people being employed by ocean-based industries by 2030?
- Oceans absorb about 30% of carbon dioxide produced by humans, buffering the impacts of global warming?
📅In 2008, World Oceans Day was declared an official event by the United Nations (UN) which finalises different themes every year to celebrate this special day.
👉This year’s theme is “Revitalization: collective action for the ocean”.
🐟The ocean supplies at least half of the world’s oxygen and is home to the majority of the planet’s biodiversity being also the primary source of protein for over a billion people worldwide.
🌊The ocean is critical to our economy, with ocean-based industries expected to employ over 40 million people by 2030.
🆘Despite all of its advantages, the ocean today requires assistance.🆘
We need to work together to create a new balance with the ocean, restore its vibrancy and bring it new life.🐋🐠
