Happy UN World Oceans Day!!!!! Celebrated every y

Happy UN World Oceans Day!!!!!

Celebrated every year on the 8th June and this day serves as a reminder of the major role oceans have in our everyday lives.
.
The theme for this year’s United Nations World Ocean day is “Life and Livelihood”. This theme is also in line with the declaration of intentions that launched a decade of challenges to reach the Sustainable Development Goal 14, “Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources”, by 2030.
.
.
.

This highlights the need to conserve our wonderful marine resources for future generations.
