World Oceans Day is celebrated annually on June 8th to raise awareness about the vital role oceans play in sustaining life on Earth, covering over 70% of the planet's surface and producing more than half of the world's oxygen. The day highlights urgent environmental threats facing our oceans, including plastic pollution, overfishing, and climate change-driven issues like rising sea temperatures and ocean acidification. It serves as a global call to action, encouraging individuals, governments, and organizations to take steps to protect and sustainably manage ocean resources for future generations.
