World Oceans Day 2021

The purpose and goals of the day from its first celebration were to move the oceans from the side-lines to the centre of the international governments and NGO concerns and policy in order to make more stronger voice of the ocean as well as coastal constituencies globally.

Why World Oceans Day is celebrated?

World Oceans Day is an annual observation which is celebrated in order to respect, help and safeguard, and also to preserve and conserve the world’s oceans. The ocean provides us countless resources as well as services such as oxygen, climate regulation, food sources, medicine, and much more and we people on the other hand are destroying it by polluting the oceans.

Therefore, World Oceans Day provides us a golden chance in order to take personal as well as community action so that we can protect the ocean and its resources before it’s too late.
