Happy World Ocean Day! That's right, led by The Ocean Project, World Oceans Day is celebrated June 8 with the goal of drawing attention to the factors that threaten the health of our seas and our planet overall.
Our oceans are a major player in the environmental health of our world. They generate much of the oxygen we breathe while absorbing a vast chunk of the carbon dioxide emissions from our power plants and cars. More than 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered in water. About 97% of it exists in our oceans.
But the oceans aren't just full of aquatic creatures and colorful coral that comprise the perfect snorkel scenery. Major problems lurk on top of, and especially beneath the surface — problems that need our attention. That's why World Oceans Day exists.
Among other threats, people dump 19 billion pounds of plastics into the ocean every year.
