Exploring and understanding oceans

It will take thousands of more years to fully understand and explore the oceans, but a start has to be made somewhere. The best day to focus on the importance of our oceans and to take action on critical issues affecting the oceans is the World Oceans day which falls on 8th of June each year. This day helps raise awareness on the problems faced by our oceans and compel governments and individuals to take immediate steps to protect our seas. The United Nations official declared in 2009 that World Ocean Day would be held on June 8 each year. Our oceans are at great danger and are in a state of "silent collapse" threatening entire world as our food supply, marine economies, recreation and the natural legacy we leave our children.
