Today is World Oceans Day. Although we know that this ocean, which covers about 70% of the earth, is a very important resource for human beings, there are many other benefits that we do not know about the ocean. More than 30% of the world's population makes a living from these ocean-related industries. At the same time, the oceans play a vital role in meeting the food needs of the world's people as well as their protein needs. According to economic analysts, by 2030, an ocean of industries will be created that will create about 40 million jobs.

Do you know? This ocean, which supplies about half of the world's oxygen, also absorbs about 30% of the world's carbon dioxide. The ocean has been instrumental in maintaining the water cycle to meet Earth's water needs. It is also an indispensable resource for the world economy. An ocean makes a huge contribution to a country's economy. There are many benefits to be gained from the ocean, including fishing, tourism, and energy.

The ocean is now at great risk due to the selfish activities of humans. More than 90% of fish species are endangered due to the release of large amounts of pollutants such as Heavy metals and non-perishable plastics into the ocean. And about 50% of the coral reefs are already extinct. It should be to say that man himself will be punished for this selfish act of man.
