OECS Commission World Oceans Day

OECS Commission observes World Oceans Day OECS Media Release The OECS Commission joins the global community in support of healthy oceans today, World Oceans Day, under the theme "Our Oceans, Our Future" with the main focus on preventing plastic pollution and cleaning the ocean of marine litter. While there is one global ocean that connects us all, within it there are five (5) distinct oceans: the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Arctic Ocean, and Southern Ocean.  It is hoped, however, that the UN will recognise and embrace the singular "Ocean" as the world engages in efforts to conserve this important resource that connects us all.
