The Most Amazing Facts About Oceans You Definitely Didn't Know

June 8 is World Oceans Day. It’s the day when we celebrate the vast bodies of water that makeup about 70% of the earth’s surface. The idea is to promote ocean conservation efforts. Even though oceanographers have mapped 100% of ocean beds very little remains known of the life underwater. The ocean holds within it, vast secrets. And we know of only a few.

Join a virtual clean-up for World Oceans Day on June 8

Green Sail, a Croatian non-profit all about sustainable sea tourism, is planning a major online clean-up campaign. The initiative honours upcoming World Oceans Day which is celebrated each year on June 8. Dubbed 'Green Sail Takes 5!', the campaign calls on people worldwide to take just a tiny bit of time out of their day to protect our oceans.

The idea is for each participating individual, wherever they may be in the world, to collect five pieces of trash. Then, they should post a photo of their clean-up on their social media channels with the hashtag #GreenSailTakes5 to help raise awareness, spread the word, and connect with other like-minded people, if they wish.

Green Sail highlights the importance of the movement for ocean preservation and raising awareness about it. After all, oceans provide all life on Earth with crucial resources.

Around 90% of the harmful waste found in our oceans and waterways comes from land. Some of the ways that waste enters water are: direct deposits of trash by humans, the wind, sewage pipes... And that's just to name a few. 

Every single piece of waste is harmful to the oceans, no matter how small.

So, removing even five items of trash for #GreenSailTakes5 will make a difference!

This important initiative is both eco-friendly and safe (given the ongoing pandemic) because it calls for virtual participation. More information can be found on the Green Sail Facebook page.

Nations ensure ocean sustainability: Commonwealth Sec-Gen

A day ahead of World Oceans Day, the Commonwealth Secretary-General on Sunday urged governments to ensure their countries' post-Covid economic recoveries are environmentally sustainable and safe for the ocean.

Forty-seven of the Commonwealth's 54 member countries have a coastline while 25 are either small island developing states or 'big ocean states' relying heavily on the ocean for food and income.

Secretary-General Patricia Scotland calls on countries to reform development strategies in a way that supports vibrant and sustainable blue and green economies.

"The ocean is the lifeblood of so many Commonwealth countries and our environment should be the cornerstone as we put plans in place to recover our economies. The Commonwealth covers more than a third of coastal oceans in the world, contributing to a global ocean-based economy valued at $3 to 6 trillion per year," Scotland said.

"Covid-19 impact has radically altered some of our key economic sectors and transformed the way we live, communicate, nd do business. While the fallout from the pandemic has had a huge impact on our blue economies, it also presents a crucial opportunity to strategize on how to accelerate the transition towards more sustainable economic practices built on climate resilience and ocean sustainability.

"The Commonwealth Blue Charter is one of the most effective platforms for global ocean action in the international landscape today. I commend the work of our member countries through the action groups and welcome the support we have received from national, regional,and global partners, enabling us to mobilize together for ocean health."

The Blue Charter is the Commonwealth's commitment to work together to protect the ocean and meet global ocean commitments. Ten action groups, led by 13 champion countries, are driving the flagship initiative.

More than 40 countries have signed up to one or more of these action groups and counting.

Commonwealth Blue Charter action groups include: Sustainable Aquaculture (led by Cyprus), Sustainable Blue Economy (Kenya), Coral Reef Protection and Restoration (Australia, Belize, Mauritius), Mangrove Ecosystems and Livelihoods (Sri Lanka), Ocean Acidification (New Zealand), Ocean and Climate Change (Fiji), Ocean Observations (Canada), Commonwealth Clean Ocean Alliance (marine plastic pollution - United Kingdom, Vanuatu), Marine Protected Areas (Seychelles) and Sustainable Coastal Fisheries (Kiribati).

Members of the private sector, academia and civil society -- including Vulcan Inc, Bloomberg Philanthropies, the Association of Commonwealth Universities, Nekton Foundation and many others -- are also engaged as Blue Charter partners.
