Everyone can do something for a sustainable ocean: save ocean for future!
June 8 is World Oceans Day, the United Nations day for celebrating the role of the oceans in our everyday life and inspiring action to protect the ocean and sustainably use marine resources.
The World Ocean or Global Ocean
is the interconnected system of Earth's oceanic waters. The Oceans have major role in our

are the lungs of our planet, providing most of the oxygen we breathe.
They are also a source of food and medicine and a critical part of the biosphere.
