Take me to the Ocean and remind me, how inescapable and intimate our connection is to all that is alive and breathing... Oceans feed us, regulate our climate, and generate most of the oxygen we breathe. But despite their importance, oceans are facing unprecedented threats as a result of human activity. Sea levels are rising due to climate change and oceans are becoming more acidic and teeming with plastic. Did you know? Oceans serve as the world’s largest source of protein, with more than 3 billion people depending on the oceans as their primary source of protein Over three billion people depend on marine and coastal biodiversity for their livelihoods. Oceans absorb about 30% of carbon dioxide produced by humans, buffering the impacts of global warming. We can make a difference at an individual level by REFUSING to USE plastic bags, plastic cutlery, plastic cups and plates, plastic earbuds, single use masks and gloves. By segregating waste at home, ensuring all recyclable waste is recycled we can help reduce ocean pollution. Remember the plastics we use and throw often ends up in our oceans, causing harm to marine life and enters our food chain. #WorldOceansDay #IndianOcean #SustainableDevelopment #InnovationForSustainableOceans #ForPeopleForPlanet #ForNature @unep @uninindia @unsdgadvocates @unitednations @undpinindia
