World Ocean Day - Secondary
These resources can be used to help celebrate World Ocean Day which was started to encourage people to unite and take action to protect and restore the ocean.
Some of the resources look at how changes in the climate affect the oceans, such as acidification, and the consequences for biodiversity. Others look at the importance of ocean currents, the role of sea ice in climate change, and the consequences of rising temperatures on coastal cities.
The effect of plastics on ocean dwelling organisms and the environment are also covered.
