00:00Welcome to News Plus Globe. Today we celebrate World Oceans Day 2025, a global call to protect
00:07the lifeblood of our planet, the oceans. Oceans cover more than 70 of Earth's surface and produce
00:14over half the oxygen we breathe. They regulate climate, support biodiversity, and sustain
00:20billions of lives. More than 3 billion people depend on marine and coastal biodiversity for
00:26their livelihoods, food, and energy. But our oceans face growing threats, climate change,
00:33plastic pollution, overfishing, coral bleaching, and rising sea levels. The theme for 2025 is
00:41catalyzing action for our ocean climate, urging governments, organizations, and individuals
00:46to unite for a healthier ocean and planet. Oceans absorb about 25 of carbon dioxide emissions,
00:54helping to slow global warming, but this vital service is at risk. Plastic waste chokes marine
01:01life and destructive fishing practices threaten fish populations and ecosystems. World Oceans Day
01:08reminds us that protecting oceans is essential for climate stability, biodiversity, and human well-being.
01:14Around the world, communities mark this day with beach cleanups, educational programs,
01:20and policy discussions. You can help by reducing plastic use, supporting sustainable seafood,
01:27and raising awareness about ocean conservation. Countries have pledged to protect at least 30 of the ocean
01:34by 2030, a critical step toward restoring marine health. Youth and activists worldwide are leading the
01:41charge, inspiring innovative solutions and demanding action. From coral reefs to mangroves,
01:48every marine habitat is vital for a balanced ecosystem and resilient climate. India, with its extensive
01:55coastline and marine biodiversity, is actively restoring mangroves and protecting fisheries to
02:01combat climate impacts. World Oceans Day 2025 is a moment to awaken new depths of understanding and
02:09commitment to our blue planet. Let's remember, a healthy ocean means a healthy planet, and our future
02:15depends on it. Join the movement. Act for our oceans. Protect our climate. Happy World Oceans Day 2025 from News Plus Globe.
