"Ocean Conservancy Day

• This is not YET a real awareness day, but is very important, as more than 90% of Earth’s water is found in the form of salt water in the oceans.

• The oceans cover more than 70% of the Earth’s surface.

• We know more about all of outer space than we do about our own oceans.

• The deepest part of all the oceans, the Marianna Trench, is 5 Empire State Buildings (more than a mile) deeper than Mount Everest is tall.

• We’re almost constantly discovering new species living in the depths of our oceans.

• The algae (including almost all forms of sea weed) in the oceans provide approximately 70% of the Oxygen on Earth.

• The oceans provide a steady climate on Earth.

• There are many, many more reasons!!!" (Nikki Arm - Girls Love STEAM).​
