June 8th is World Oceans Day!  This day is celebrated around the word to bring awareness and appreciate to our ocean planet!  After all, 70% of our planet is ocean.  However, our oceans are under attack from climate change, overfishing, invasive species, coastal development and many other threats.  We need to make World Oceans Day not 1 day a year but 365 days a year if we are to combat these threats.  So what can you do to help?  Here are 3 important ways in which you can contribute.

  1.   Volunteer with a marine conservation non-profit like Reef Conservation International 😉
  2.   Eat lower on the food chain – don’t eat seafood or meat.  The fish will thank you 🙂
  3.   Skip the single-use plastics. Most ocean pollution is from single-use plastics.
