World Oceans Day 2022: Theme, history, and significance

The ocean covers more than 70% of Earth’s surface, and being the largest ecosystem on our planet, it functions as a life support system for all its inhabitants.

The idea for a World Ocean Day was proposed for the first time by Canada at the #Earth_Summit that took place in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. Its aim would be to celebrate our world’s ocean and our personal connection to the sea, as well as to raise awareness of the essential role it plays in our lives and the overall health of the environment.

World Ocean Day has since been celebrated by many countries around the world and was then officially recognized by the #United_Nations in 2008. After that, the number of countries and organizations that take part in World Ocean Day is growing each year in recognition of the essential role the ocean plays in the sustainability of our future.
