World Ocean Day quotes: A collection of exquisite quotes to share with family & friends

World Ocean Day is recognised every year on June 8th. The idea of the day was originally suggested in 1992 by ICOD and OIC at the Earth summit - UNCED in Rio, Brazil. However, the day was officially recognised by the UN in 2008. The main objection of World Ocean Day is to bring the public interest towards the ocean and its resources for the worldwide sustainable implementation of the ocean and its resources. The day intends to showcase the different resources we receive from the ocean as well as the different threats that are faced by the ocean. Every year, the UN selects a theme for this annual World Ocean Day. This year the theme for 2020 is "Innovation for a Sustainable Ocean". Take a look at some quotes for World Ocean Day you can share with your family and friends.
