World Oceans Day is celebrated on June 8
World Oceans Day is celebrated on June 8 to recognize the importance of the oceans for the balance of the global ecosystem and human survival. This date was created by the United Nations (UN) to raise awareness about the challenges faced by the oceans, such as pollution, acidification, overfishing and climate change. The main objective is to promote the conservation and sustainable use of marine resources, in addition to highlighting the need to protect marine biodiversity and oceanic habitats. It is an opportunity to educate people about the importance of the oceans for the climate, economy, food and human health.
