It is imperative that we protect our oceanic habitat. Water is a limited resource on our earth. Our oceans are in peril. There are several reasons why we should full immerse ourselves in the aquatic life and to celebrate this important day, such as:

·       To remind everyone of the major part the Ocean has in everyday life. They are the lungs of our planet, providing most of the oxygen we breathe.

·       To inform the public on the impact of the human actions on the Ocean and make them aware of the alarming declines of oceanic life.

·       To mobilise and unite the world’s population on a project for the sustainable management of the World Ocean. To celebrate together the beauty, the wealth and the promise of the Ocean.

·       To keep this beautiful ecosystem safe.

·       It is a reminder that we must do better in protecting this irreplaceable resource.

·       To deeply committed to ocean conservation.

·       To learn more about plastic pollution in the ocean and how each person can do their bit to curb it.
