June 8 is World Ocean Day. This holiday started in 1992 and gives everyone an opportunity to celebrate our world ocean and our personal connection to the sea. According the the World Ocean Project, reasons to celebrate the world’s oceans include that the ocean:

Generates most of the oxygen we breathe
Helps feed us
Regulates our climate
Cleans the water we drink
Offers us a pharmacopoeia of potential medicines

Provides limitless inspiration
