Last April, individuals throughout the USA as well as the entire world commemorated the best thing about nature, our rivers and mountains, as well as wildlife. The original Earth Day was inspired by founder Gaylord Nelson, former U.S. Senator from Wisconsin, after observing the actual destruction of the 1969 huge oil spill in Santa Barbara, California. In that period of protests in opposition to war and social injustice, hundreds of thousands rallied all over the US to the first Earth Day to demand change. This particular open public demonstration of love for nature resulted in the development of the Environmental Protection Agency and also the passage of the Clean Air, Clean Water, and Endangered Species Acts.
Four decades afterwards the rivers are better, an incredible number of acres have been established as national parks as well as wilderness areas and over all the air quality has improved. Yet, more than fifty percent our oxygen emanates from the ocean. Fish feed millions and also the attractiveness and complexity of marine life leave all of us in awe. However these days, a year after the ravages in the Gulf from the BP Oil spill, 90% of large pelagic shark species are getting wiped out from overfishing as well as for their fins. Whales and seals are already hunted to a genetic bottle neck and therefore are hunted still. The wolves of the sea, the bluefin tuna, are becoming fished to the vanishing point. While a thousand other insults are being induced on Mother Ocean.
Completely new oil wells are becoming considered to be along our coast while nuclear power plants hum along our shorelines susceptible to Tsunami and earthquakes. Recent die-offs of sardines in southern california; emaciated as well as sickly sea lions across the coast, disappearing salmon and stranded leopard sharks within the San Francisco Bay are bellwethers telling us that the ocean is sick.
Following one week of remembering the Earth, it is the perfect time to celebrate our ocean with World Oceans Day. It has been unofficially celebrated each and every June 8 because its original proposal in 1992 by Canada at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It was then officially recognized by the United Nations in 2008. Eversince then, WOD has been coordinated worldwide by The Ocean Project and also the World Ocean Network with higher success and global participation every year. World Oceans Day is a great chance for us every year to honor the world’s ocean and to celebrate the all marine life.
