To United Nations and World Government Leaders:
Help make a difference for our ocean planet!
Whereas everyone on our planet is connected and affected by the oceans;
Whereas the world's ocean covers 70% of our planet, yet less than 1% of our ocean habitat is protected;
Whereas the ocean plays a critical role in maintaining the planet's ecosystems and is essential to human health and well being;
Whereas it is critical to educate the public, and promote stewardship among children and adults alike;
Whereas ocean environments around the world are collapsing, primarily due to over-fishing, pollution, and unsustainable coastal development;
Whereas the ocean's rich diversity of life belongs to all citizens of the world; and
Whereas on June 8 there has been an unofficial celebration of the oceans around the world for 12 years...
I endorse a United Nations resolution to declare June 8 as WORLD OCEAN DAY as a means each year to celebrate the world's ocean and its rich diversity of life; highlight global ocean awareness, education and action programs to promote a healthy and productive ocean; and remind nations, governments, businesses, and individuals of their responsibility to protect the world's living ocean and conserve its resources for present and future generations.
I join the initiative locally, nationally and internationally to celebrate and recognize World Ocean Day each year.

Time is running short. We are killing our own life support system and need to turn it around fast. If the oceans die we die.

All life originated from and now depends on the healh of the seas. I thought the UN had already recognized this event, but if not. Please take my suggestion. If we aren't united regarding the oceans, we will never be united as nations. Seeing the oceans are the only real boundary line to land. As a whole, we must respect its importance. One Earth!

Please encourage countries to regulate fishing and regulate the overfishing of the unrestricted seas, do all you can to educate people, companies and nations about the efforts they can take to stop pollution of our life sustaining oceans, and encourage countries to consider what the development on their shores really costs and whether or the it is sustainable or worth building on eroding banks.

I had not been aware that 8 June is World Ocean Day until today. I hope there will be a lot of media publicity for the plight of our oceans and the irresponsibile exploitation of their wonderful resources. We must do all we can to preserve the biodiversity that still exists.
