For 2020, World Oceans Day is growing the global movement to call on world leaders to protect 30% of our blue planet by 2030. This critical need is called 30x30. By safeguarding at least 30% of our ocean through a network of highly protected areas we can help ensure a healthy home for all !

Today (June 8) is celebrated as World Oceans Day across the world to remind the people about the importance of the role played by oceans in the lives of human beings.

The day is celebrated by the entire world to highlight the role of the oceans in everyday life and inspires action to protect the ocean and sustainably use marine resources.
As per the United Nations website, World Oceans Day is celebrated every year on June 8 across the world. The day was first celebrated in 1992 following the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, held in Rio de Janeiro.

The rate by which human beings are polluting oceans across the globe through their mindless actions is alarming. Plastic waste, decreasing levels of water, impurities in water, and others, are causing massive harm to the oceans and it is high time that we take serious actions to conserve our oceans. On World Ocean Day, people come together and discuss the innovative ways to save oceans for us and for our future generations.
