World Oceans Day 8th of June
On the 8th of June we pay more attention to the oceans with its amazing wildlife. The oceans have an important role in our lives, because they greatly promote oxygen production, food and medicine source. We celebrate World Oceans Day since 1992. At first Canadian nature conservation organizations payed attention to the problem of water pollution.
The goal of this day to draw people's attention to the importance of protecting the oceans and unite the world's population because together we are more successful. The human activities contribute to the pollution of the ocean.
This year we are focusing to the preventing plastic pollution and encouraging solutions for a healthy ocean. This is a threatening problem because the 80 percent of all pollution comes from humans. The 8 million tonnes plastic which gets into the ocean as a result of fisheries and tourism every year wreaking havoc on wildlife. The plastic pillution is the responsible for the death of 1 million seabirds and 100.000 marinare mammals and 8 billion marine ecosystems each year. It is also bad for our health because we eat the contaminated fish.
What can we do for the oceans?
There are many small things what we can do for a better future like using less plastic and recycle what we use. ne metter where you live you can support this initiation.
