08th June is the World Ocean Day Around 3/4th of our planet is water. But with recent menace of global warming, there’s a threat to even the largest natural resource on earth- i.e. water. And with that, there’s a major hazard to the entire galaxy of marine life which thrives in the ocean. Add to that the frantic emptying of many water bodies to make space for industrial establishments. All this is a major threat to the ocean life which in turn will lead to a loss of equilibrium in the natural order of things. Guided by the above concerns alarming our eco-system a step was taken up in the year 1992 to combat the growing threats to the Ocean eco-system. After an initial proposal at the Earth Summit, in Rio De Janeiro in Brazil, Canada started celebrating World Oceans Day on the 8th of June that year onwards. But owing to its sound and dedicated work towards promoting the cause of the ocean the day was officially recognized as the World Oceans Day in 2008 by the United Nations Organization. Thereafter Oceans Day has been organized the world over in collaboration with The Ocean Project and the World Ocean Network. “On World Oceans Day people around the planet celebrate and honor the body of water which links us all, for what it provides humans and what it represents. Be a part of this growing global celebration!”. With time the World Oceans Day has become an increasingly youth centric event. Involving young people and even children into its gamut of activists the World Oceans Day is now a global phenomenon. Aqua Nevis Club Hotel is a Silver Leaf winner for 2012 for sustainable tourism!
