๐Ÿ‘‰This year’s theme is โ€œRevitalization: collective action for the oceanโ€.
๐ŸŸThe 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.
๐ŸŒŠThe ocean is critical to our economy, with ocean-based industries expected to employ over 40 million people by 2030.
๐Ÿ†˜Despite all of its advantages, the ocean today requires assistance.๐Ÿ†˜
