Go to the Beach on World Oceans Day!

In 2021, June 8th is World Oceans Day, but the event extends through the remainder of the week. Aside from the obvious title, what is World Oceans Day about? According to the United Nations website, the environmental holiday was created to inform the public about “the impact of their actions on the ocean, develop a worldwide movement of citizens of the ocean, and mobilize and unite the world’s population on a project for the sustainable management of the world’s oceans.”

In order to help bring awareness to World Oceans Day, there are a number of things you can do (as well things you can do year-round):

1. Reduce your plastic use.
2. Choose sustainable seafood, or just say no to seafood in general.
3. Do some beach cleanup!
4. Don’t support live shows that utilize sea creatures. Sure they can be fun, but these animals are in captivity.
5. Spend some fun time at the beach and enjoy the waves and the sun!
