LITERACY
On World Oceans Day, people around the World celebrate and honour the ocean, which connects us all. The aim is for people to get together to start creating a better future and protect our oceans.
In particular, organisers 'The Ocean Project' wish to see 30% of the world's oceans be protected in the coming years.
World Ocean Day is celebrated every year on June 8th.
Why do we celebrate World Oceans Day?
- The ocean generates a lot of the oxygen we breathe.
- It provides food around the world.
- It regulates the climate.
- It gives work opportunities to thousands of people.
- Is home to trillions of fish and sea creatures.
