World Oceans Day seeks to raise awareness of the major role the oceans have in everyday life. As well as being the lungs of our planet, our oceans are also an important source of food and medicine and a critical part of the biosphere.
The purpose of the environmental awareness day is to inform the public of the impact of human actions on the ocean. It also seeks to develop a worldwide movement of citizens for the ocean and mobilise and unite the world’s population on a project for the sustainable management of the world’s oceans.
