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.

This year's theme, 'Awaken new depths,' encourages communities to find innovative ways to defend marine life and promote cleaner, healthier coastlines.
