Celebrating World Oceans Day 2022

June is "National Oceans Month" - Know your ocean! 

 Together we can make a huge difference for the ocean. Join me in celebrating #WorldOceansDay this June 8th

 

We all love the ocean. It takes care of us - by providing food, medicine, oxygen and fresh air, transportation, communication… not to mention fun, recreation, and inspiration! The ocean links people all over the world together, and we couldn’t survive without it.

Today is World Oceans Day, and we are celebrating the seven seas with our Blue Green Promise. Thirty years ago, we launched our first environmental protection initiative, Save the Waves. Since then, we’ve continued our efforts to protect one of our most precious natural resources — our oceans. Our Blue Green Promise is our renewed commitment to support resilient and sustainable ocean communities worldwide — a promise we will work to live up to every day. Learn more: Blue Green Promise

Join us and celebrate the value of oceans

World Oceans Day reminds every one of the major role the oceans have in everyday life. They are the lungs of our Planet and a major source of food and medicine and a critical part of the biosphere.

The purpose of the Day is to inform the public of the impact of human actions on the ocean, develop a worldwide movement of citizens for the ocean, and mobilize and unite the world’s population on a project for the sustainable management of the world's oceans.

This year, the United Nations will host the first hybrid celebration of the annual event on 8 June 2022, hosted in-person at the UN Headquarters in New York to be broadcasted live. It will highlight the 2022 theme of “Revitalization: collective action for the ocean”.

Visit the official website to learn more about the International Day, find out about news and celebrations, or read the latest news and reports on the oceans.

This World Oceans Day, give back to the ocean by promising to do at least one thing in your life to help keep it healthy. A healthy ocean means healthy humans, dolphins, corals, turtles, fish, and other wildlife for the future. So, pick a promise and post a selfie on social media to share how you’re doing your part for our ocean.

Mother Ocean Day

Imagine Life Without the Oceans ...

These days most people take the world's oceans for granted. Have you ever stopped to think about what would happen if there weren't the oceans and the species that live in them?

Water is an essential ingredient in human life.  It is estimated that 25% of the world's species live in the oceans.

Had it not been for the brave explorers who navigated the earth's oceans, lands where we live might never have been discovered.

Celebrate Mother Ocean Today

According to DaysOfTheYear website, May 12th is a day set aside to "pay homage to this incredible force of nature and enjoy what it has to offer to the full".  In the image above, we captured the ocean in all her glory from the view of our balcony cabin.  The sun was starting to set, completing the serene view.  This is just one of the many things we love about cruising.

As we take to the waves time and time again, we are reminded that it is our responsibility to preserve the oceans for future generations.  We've written may columns in the past about the need for the cruise lines and passengers to take steps for sustainability.   Simple things, like putting our waste in the appropriate containers on board the ship, will go a long way in preserving the image above.

If you have never cruised the world's oceans, we encourage you to try it some time.  On sea days, you will find a peace that can't be explained, if you immerse yourself in the view around you.  Don't listen to those that might discourage you from experiencing the oceans for yourself.   In fact, we would be honored to talk to you at length about our 30+ years personal experiences on the world's oceans.

For those cruise veterans reading this column, include a peaceful moment like this in your next voyage.   Think about the vastness of the oceans, and those that came before us that discovered our lands.  They braved conditions that were unknown and sailed into the unknown to discover land.

On this Mother's Day weekend let's honor our Mothers, including Mother Ocean.
