World Oceans Day 2021
No water, no life. No blue, no green. On World Oceans Day, the world joins hands to protect the largest water body surrounding us, which is an integral part of human lives, the oceans.
World Oceans Day is celebrated annually on 8 June to remind us of the important role of the oceans in sustaining our livelihoods and the necessity to prevent them from destruction. According to the United Nations (UN), oceans are the lungs of our planet and a major source of food and medicine, and a critical part of the biosphere.
World Oceans Day is observed to highlight the importance of water bodies as they provide shelter to countless fauna and flora which provide us with life-saving oxygen. Furthermore, it is celebrated to generate awareness about human activities like dumping plastic pollution, garbage disposal, oil leaks to send a message to save the oceans.
