Ocean: Beauty and Threat

Ocean view

The ocean is a vast expanse of open water, the sight of which is truly breathtaking. Nowadays, the ocean remains the most unexplored part of the world, despite covering most of the Earth's surface. It harbors many dangers and beauties, which could not go unnoticed by international organizations. In 1992, at the Summit in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), dedicated to the security of planet Earth, the date for celebrating World Ocean Day was announced — June 8. Since 2009, the holiday has been officially recognized by a UN resolution.

The ocean is home to millions of marine species, contains 97% of the world's water resources, and covers about 70.8% of the planet's surface. Today, the issue of ocean ecology is becoming increasingly pressing, as oceans are also the source of 80% of the oxygen produced by phytoplankton. Ocean debris and various emissions disrupt the balance of the ocean, affecting flora, fauna, and ultimately humans, as well as the functioning of the biosphere.
