HAPPY WORLD OCEANS DAY!
Recent developments from FAO: YUNGA, 9th June 2014

Yesterday, June 8th, was World Oceans Day!
Did you know that the global ocean covers 70 percent of the Earth's surface? It is essential for life on our planet, ever for those of us who live nowhere near the sea. It provides us with food and other materials that we need, regulates our climate and provides half of the oxygen we breathe. The ocean also offers us various means of transport and opportunities for recreation.
To celebrate the amazing things that the ocean provides us with, on this wonderful World Oceans Day we would like to remind you of our Ocean Challenge Badge! The badge is available online in English, Chinese and Spanish, and will soon be available in Arabic, French, Italian and Russian.
Find it online at: www.fao.org/docrep/018/i3465e/i3465e.pdf

We are also currently developing The Youth Guide to The Ocean, which contains comprehensive information about the many wonders of the ocean, as well as an easy to follow action plan to help you develop your own ocean project and conservation activities. It will be ready soon, so watch this space!
We hope you had a fantastic World Oceans Day!
