If you do not live by the sea, you may not think a lot about oceans during your daily life. But World Oceans Day, which falls on June 8 every year, is a good time to think about how amazing and important oceans are.
The world’s oceans cover nearly three fourths of the Earth’s surface. Oceans are of great importance for the life on the earth. Firstly, they are a great source of food for people around the world. Secondly, many people make a living by catching fish. There are also a lot of people who sell or cook seafood to support their family. Finally, the ocean is necessary for the health of our planet. Oceans absorb（吸收）much of the heat from the sun. Oceanic plants can produce oxygen. They can also provide food for sea animals.
Today, many dangers threaten（威胁）the health of oceans. Plastic pollution is one of the problems. Many plastic products that people throw away often reach the ocean. Many animals mistake plastic waste for their food and eat it. That is one of the reasons why many sea animals die every year.
But it doesn’t have to be this way, does it So, we hope you can spend some time thinking about what you can do to protect oceans on this special day, and you may find your part.
1. When is World Oceans Day
2. How much of the earth's surface does the ocean cover
3. What can oceanic plants provide for sea animals

If you do not live by the sea, you may not think a lot about oceans during your daily life. But World Oceans Day, which falls on June 8 every year, is a good time to think about how amazing and important oceans are.
The world’s oceans cover nearly three fourths of the Earth’s surface. Oceans are of great importance for the life on the earth. Firstly, they are a great source of food for people around the world. Secondly, many people make a living by catching fish. There are also a lot of people who sell or cook seafood to support their family. Finally, the ocean is necessary for the health of our planet. Oceans absorb（吸收）much of the heat from the sun. Oceanic plants can produce oxygen. They can also provide food for sea animals.
Today, many dangers threaten（威胁）the health of oceans. Plastic pollution is one of the problems. Many plastic products that people throw away often reach the ocean. Many animals mistake plastic waste for their food and eat it. That is one of the reasons why many sea animals die every year.
But it doesn’t have to be this way, does it So, we hope you can spend some time thinking about what you can do to protect oceans on this special day, and you may find your part.
1. When is World Oceans Day
2. How much of the earth's surface does the ocean cover
3. What can oceanic plants provide for sea animals
