Happy World Ocean Day to you and to us, dear Sue.</div>

It is difficult to imagine that what we see of the ocean here is even part of the pollution at large. When I think back to Northern Bali, it was very distasteful and sickening to swim without plastic wrap and bags drifting and clinging to swimmers' arms and
legs and bodies with each stroke. The custom is to burn refuse and the heavy rains wash everything down into the ocean, which cleans up the compound. Sadly, not that long ago the lightly fragrant banana leaves were used to wrap food and what nots, but now
it is plastic that is proudly used instead. The well-meaning people don't stop to think about the journey of the plastic in the ocean, destroying the once phenomenal coral reefs, giant turtles and marine life.</div>

If only the education available to us, could be dispersed in those areas.<br>

Thank you, Sue Magoo, for being so connected to nature and standing up for its place by making us aware of the role we really must play.</div>

World Ocean Day rallies the world for ocean and climate action on 8 June and throughout the year. We work in partnership with youth leaders, zoos, aquariums, museums, and other youth-focused organizations, as well as a huge range of diverse organizations and
businesses from all sectors in a growing global network. Together, we effectively engage the public, inform policymakers, and unite the world to protect and restore our shared ocean and create a stable climate. Join the growing global movement in June and
continue to grow the engagement and action year-round! </p>

Canada was the first country to propose the idea at the Earth Summit in Rio back in 1992. It took another decade for it to be globally promoted and coordinated. Back in 2016, they added a World Ocean Day Youth Advisory Council. Back in 2019, there were 2000+
events and 140+ countries that participated. In 2020, it took a Conservation Action Focus of protecting 30% of our lands and ocean by 2030. <span class="x_ContentPasted0" style="font-weight:normal; margin:0px; letter-spacing:-0.15pt">Recently, world leaders
