World Ocean Day, celebrated annually on June 8th, holds immense significance in raising awareness about the vital role of oceans and the pressing need to protect them. As humans, we have long enjoyed the oceans for their beauty, resources, and recreational opportunities. However, our actions have also had a profound impact on marine ecosystems. Overfishing, pollution, habitat destruction, and climate change have taken a toll on the health and biodiversity of our oceans. World Ocean Day serves as a global call to action, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding at least 30% of the oceans by 2030 through the establishment of marine protected areas. By preserving these precious ecosystems, we can ensure the sustainability of marine life, maintain essential ecological balance, and secure the well-being of future generations. It reminds us that the oceans not only bring joy and inspiration but also require our active protection and responsible stewardship. 2023 World Oceans Day is celebrated under the slogan "Planet Ocean: Tides are changing".
