HAPPY WORLD OCEANS DAY!!

What a day to celebrate the beauty of the deep blue sea!!

This is the first year that the United Nations is officially recognizing World Oceans Day as a THE day to devote to ocean protection, ocean conservation, ocean enthusiam, and ocean pride!

For a bit of background, read up on the history of World Oceans Day at The Ocean Project's World Oceans Day page, and why we should proud that it's finally being recognized...hint: We've been fighting for it since 1992!

This year's theme, according to The Ocean Project, is..."One Ocean, One Climate, One Future."

And of course, take a look at The Ocean Project's list of events going on all over the world.

2009 Events for World Oceans Day.

But if you're not interested in these, The Ocean Project does have a separate page with a nice list of Celebration Ideas.

Why not go sailing? Or simply take a day off to relax on the beach?

Geek Dad, the hip blog over at Wired.com has some great ideas too!

Immerse yourself in Robinson Crusoe, watch The Little Mermaid, pet your pet fish!

Ok, maybe not.

As long as you're dedicating one day to the sea, it doesn't matter what you do!

We know our TRT readers devote every single day to marine life , so this should be a piece of cake!

What are you doing for the day? Let me know!
