World Oceans Day 2025 (The Beach)

World Oceans Day 2025: Protecting the waters that give this Earth life (Earth.com)

I never really think about the ocean. It's just here.

Someday, maybe on June 8th, it will be World Ocean Day. Then people will begin to realize our whole way of life is made possible by the oceans.

Trees give us so much, and we can see them. The ocean with all its plankton, water cycle, and underwater forests gives us more, but we cannot see it.

Corporations pollute, and we clean it up.

We might live on chlorella, spirulina, Irish moss, and seaweed -- nourished by all the salts (minerals) of the earth without knowing it -- yet never think to thank the seas from the sand at the foot of the oceans.

The United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030) is halfway through. However, the UN Sustainable Development Goals on life below water (SDG14) remains the most underfunded goal.

What a wonder the ocean

What would mermaids say?

This World Oceans Day, join us as we celebrate the ocean's essential wonder -- from all the wonders it consists of to the wonder it ignites. The ocean's wonder is what draws us in and drives our urge to protect it. Wonder is the foundation of scientific knowledge, the allure behind exploration, the curiosity that drives innovation, and the seed of traditional wisdom.

The act of wondering serves to remind us that we are part of something bigger. It wakes us up to our inherent connection to this earth and to each other, expands our understanding of what is possible, empowers innovation, and prioritizes decision-making for collective wellbeing.

While the ocean sustains our planet, wonder sustains our humanity. If the warnings haven't changed us, wonder is what will. More: United Nations World Oceans Day

Hunter-gathering to empire-building w/ Ali

The most famous Ali in England is Sacha Baron "Borat" Cohen (shown here being ironic, facetious, and satirical with feminist Prof. Naomi R. Wolf and a group of British religionists). But it should probably be Prof. Ali Roberts for her investigations aired by the BBC. She goes to Asia, China and Siberia, to investigate the progress of humankind from primitive to modern.
