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.
๐This year’s theme is โRevitalization: collective action for the oceanโ.
๐The 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.
๐The ocean is critical to our economy, with ocean-based industries expected to employ over 40 million people by 2030.
๐Despite all of its advantages, the ocean today requires assistance.๐
We need to work together to create a new balance with the ocean, restore its vibrancy and bring it new life.๐๐
