June 8th is World Oceans Day<\/a> – a chance to celebrate the bodies of water that make up 70% of our planet and provide food, recreation and place to rejuvenate the spirit. As home to an estimated\u00a0230,000 marine species, our oceans are a vast wilderness with ecosystems critically linked with our own. Unfortunately many of the earth’s inhabitants never see or experience our oceans,\u00a0yet our impact through pollution and over-fishing has taken its toll.<\/p>\n

Organizations such as the The Ocean Project<\/a>\u00a0provide a great\u00a0opportunity to get directly involved in protecting the future of our oceans through\u00a0personal and community\u00a0involvement. Working with zoos, aquariums, and\u00a0conservation\u00a0groups, they sponsor\u00a0beach cleanups, educational programs, art contests, film festivals, sustainable seafood events, and other activities that help to raise consciousness of how our lives depend on the oceans and what we can do to keep them healthy long into the future.<\/p>\n
