World Oceans Day: Quotes, Wishes, Messages, Images, Date, and More

Introduction of World Ocean Day

Can you imagine a life without a single drop of water? It would be rocks all surrounded, wither trees and lastly fade and dry lands. We cannot live without water, not for a single week, so of course, we don't save it but waste it. This day emphasizes that water is prestigious, and so is the ocean also. Knowingly water pollution is filthy for the oceans, despite the fact that we throw plastic, garbage or something unhygienic, and make oceans look infelicitous. You know the ocean produces 50% of oxygen, the essential survival tool for life. 

Everywhere the same political slogan says save water. Save Earth indirectly means if you try to save water, it will save Earth as Earth contains 70% of water. If the percentage of water declines day by day due to excess water usage, the Earth will die, and it would directly affect humans lives on the planet. Only one planet makes him unique because of humans and water, so try to make tradition until the universe is alive. 

Oceans are in need of support these days. Many people are so dependent on oceans for the economy and also increase economic growth and development in each country. However, it reduces the unemployment rate in countries. Oceans have half of the biodiversity of Earth in them, and we should preserve, protect and sustain their lives. Humans need to understand the worth of nature and make every ocean crystal clear and clean. 

History of World Ocean Day

The official announcement of the World ocean day proposal was made in 1992 at the Earth Summit. The conference was held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on Environment and Development. Canada's International centre of ocean development (ICOD) was a federal corporation team that first proposed global ocean day. The NGO global forum first convened it at the Earth Summit with help from the Ocean Institute of Canada. At last, the United Nations 2008 gathered all of it and declared 8th June as World Ocean Day. It happened on 5th December 2008, General Assembly of the United Nations. It was designed because we share the ocean and everyone has an equal opportunity to take up the benefits in good possible ways. We should raise awareness about it and help protect by several mechanisms as much as we can as humans. Sustainable development is one law that can be applied for good use of oceans, living and non - living present in it. The United Nations Division for ocean affairs and law of the sea (UNDOCALOS) coordinates the different activities, which basically raise awareness among the people. These also conduct the different types of events that generally spread the awareness and importance of oceans in our lives. Director general in 2021 conveyed the message that the internal team would try to develop knowledge about oceans and sustain them. In this message, the most important was if this protection and procedure would not be taken by us, we can't have seen climate control by oceans in future and might be diminished earlier.
