The ocean covers over 70% of the planet. It is our life source, supporting humanity's sustenance and that of every other organism on earth.

Wednesday marks this year's World Oceans Day with the theme of "Revitalization: collective action for the ocean".

The purpose of the Day is to inform the public of the impact of human actions on the ocean, develop a worldwide movement of citizens for the ocean, and mobilize and unite the world's population on a project for the sustainable management of the world's oceans.
