World Oceans Day is an international day that takes place annually on 8 June. It is a day to think about the extremely important role that the oceans play in all our lives, the dangers that are facing our oceans and the actions we can take to protect them.
Life began in the ocean. The ocean is home to the majority of plants and animals on Earth, from single-cell organisms to the blue whale. Marine plants provide us with 70 per cent of the oxygen we breathe. The ocean controls the climate, providing heat in winter and cool air in summer. It also provides us with food and medicines as well as transport.
The day is celebrated in a variety of ways. These include special events at aquariums and zoos, beach and river clean-ups, school activities, conservation programmes, art contests, and film festivals.
