World Oceans Day 2020: How to buy products that will help protect marine life
World Oceans Day – celebrated on 8 June – is an annual event established by the UN aiming to raise awareness of the vital importance our oceans have, and the role they play in sustaining a healthy planet.
As a global celebration, it encourages people, organisations and nations to come together to highlight how we must protect and conserve our oceans.
This year’s theme is “innovation for a sustainable ocean” – with a simultaneous call to world leaders to commit to protecting 30 per cent of our oceans by 2030 in a bid to combat the climate crisis and protect marine ecosystems – a campaign coined 30x30.
Home to some of the most rich and fragile ecosystems, our oceans are the lungs of the Earth and generate 70 per cent of the oxygen we breathe. Through regulating climate and weather patterns, hosting 80 per cent of the world’s biodiversity and providing millions of job opportunities, healthy oceans contribute to a healthy Earth.
But our oceans are under threat. Human activities are causing detrimental impact to the entire marine ecosystems.
From coral bleaching and plastic pollution (9 million tons of plastic end up in our oceans each year) to rising sea levels and unsustainable fishing, our seas are changing at a rapid pace.
