June 2024: The Ocean's Month

The ocean is the lifeblood of our planet, covering more than 70% of the Earth's surface and playing a crucial role in sustaining life. Oceans regulate our climate, generate most of the oxygen we breathe, and provide a home to an incredibly diverse array of wildlife. They are the driving force behind the water cycle and are essential for food security, economic prosperity, and the health of our ecosystems. Protecting these habitats is crucial not only for marine species but also for human communities that rely on them for food and livelihoods. To effectively combat ocean pollution, we need to eliminate its sources. This involves significant changes in how we produce, consume, and dispose of products.
