Ocean. The vast expanse of crystal blue waters serves as a prism that illuminates its depths. Every ounce of it reflects a flash of blue in the daylight’s amber light. It ripples, waves, and sometimes divides. Its undulating waters move over unmeasured horizons. It is a marvel of unsolicited grandiose.
In addition to its innate beauty, the ocean is one of the most imperative ecosystems in the world. It is the home of millions of species, both discovered and undiscovered. However, it is slowly losing its beauty due to unchecked exploitation. Modernization and industrialization are slowly draining our ocean’s life, taking it for all its worth. If it continues, the deep, with all its marvel, will eventually rise and return the atrocities it incurred from humanity. That’s why, before everything goes haywire, different international institutions are advancing programs for preserving our precious oceans.
One of these is the UN or United Nations. On June 8, 2009, they launched the first World Oceans Day with the theme “Our Oceans, Our Responsibility (我们的海洋,我们的责任 Wǒmen dì hǎiyáng, wǒmen de zérèn)“. The launch was successful. The program continued up to this date. Last year, 2021, commemorates the thirteenth “World Oceans Day (世界海洋日 Shìjiè Hǎiyáng Rì)“, with the theme “Protecting Marine Biodiversity and Harmonious Coexistence between Man and Nature (保护海洋生物多样性 人与自然和谐共生 Bǎohù hǎiyáng shēngwù duōyàng xìng rén yǔ zìrán héxié gòngshēng)“.
Last June 8 was a monumental moment for “World Oceans Day (世界海洋日 Shìjiè Hǎiyáng Rì)” for it is the celebration of the 14th year since the program began.
Up to this day, the program stays true to its mantra. It remains recognized that the ocean encapsulates almost 71% of the earth’s surface. Ocean directly influences all aspects of our lives. Every food, air, and livelihood of people depends on the ocean. The homeostatic balance of the earth hangs upon its feet.
Plus! The ocean is beautiful, rich, quiet, and deep. It possesses a mysterious and unfathomable charm that captivates everyone that gazes upon it. That’s why it is imperative for us to know how to protect the ocean.
If you don’t know to protect the ocean, here are some guidelines created by the United Nations. Let’s learn about how to care for and preserve our precious ocean!
