10 + Great Quotes to Celebrate World Oceans Day – World Ocean Day is celebrated every year on 8 June.

The main objection of World Ocean Day is to bring public interest to the ocean and its resources for the sustainable implementation of the ocean and its resources worldwide. The day intends to showcase the various resources being received from the sea as well as the various threats facing the sea.
