June 8 marks World Oceans Day 2024. This year, the celebration is under the theme \"Awaken New Depths\", aiming to explore a deeper understanding, compassion, collaboration, and commitment to our oceans. 🌍💬✨
World Oceans Day was first proposed in 1992 at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and became officially recognized by the United Nations (UN) in 2008. Since then, it has been a crucial day to raise awareness about the significance of oceans, call for global action for marine preservation, and promote sustainable management of marine resources.
Join the movement to protect our blue planet and ensure the health of our oceans for generations to come!
