World Oceans Day emphasizes protecting our blue planet's health
BAY COUNTY, Fla. (WMBB) – Sunday, June 8, is World Oceans Day.
It represents a global call to protect and preserve our blue planet.
While the Florida panhandle sits along the Gulf, the mission to protect our waters is just as important.

From pollution and over-fishing to climate change, the issues facing our oceans impact the Gulf too.
This year's theme, 'Awaken new depths,' encourages communities to find innovative ways to defend marine life and promote cleaner, healthier coastlines.
Something as simple as a beach cleanup or reducing plastic use can make a difference.
