My soul is full of longing
for the secret of the sea
and the heart of the
great ocean sends a
thrilling pulse through me.
...Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
On June 8 each year celebrate the ocean, its importance in our lives, and how each of us can protect it, no matter where we live. World Oceans Day raises the profile of the ocean, connects people worldwide and inspires continuing action year round to protect and restore this amazing resource that we depend on.
