I fell in love with the ocean the moment I could speak and since then it has held me in its net of wonder!

What does the ocean mean to you?

Plastic straws are really bad for the ocean. We use over 1 billion every day and most of those end up in our oceans, polluting the water and killing marine life. Say no to plastic straws for a cleaner and healthier ocean! Keep more fish in the ocean than plastic! #sayno #plastic

[Loving Our Oceans Now @lovingouroceans]

Turtles need our help, and here's how you can:

1) stop using one use plastic as it is detrimental to the health of sea turtles
2) Keep off artificial lights because they confuse hatchlings
3) Reduce the amount of chemicals you use
4) Be aware of nesting areas

AND SO MUCH MORE!

Our oceans cover most of our Earth! As we celebrate Earth Day remember that our oceans need our help and dedication to protect it.

The Yellow Stingray (Urobatis jamaicensis) is commonly found along sandy beaches to the waters edge. This particular species is a non-aggressive species of little danger to humans except for their defensive venomous barb located near the base of the tail #ocean #saveouroceans

The worlds oceans are facing many threats, that we need to come together as a global community to help solve before its too late! #saveouroceans #globalwarming #climatechange #makingadifference

FACT #2!
The world’s largest museum is the ocean. Underwater you can find relics, artifacts, ruins, and shipwrecks that number more than what you can find in the world’s museums combined. #shipwreck #artifact #ocean #LOON #museum #lovingouroceansnow #ruins #WorldOceansDay

FACT #3 !
The water pressure at the deepest point in the ocean (the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench) is 8 tons per square inch. This is equivalent to the force of one human being holding up the weight of fifty or so jumbo jets. #pressure #ocean #WorldOceansDay #LOON #love

Recently big news came out about a whale that was found with 80 plastic bags within its body. There is so much you can do to make a difference to end #plasticpollution ! Would be willing to give up plastic as much as possible to #SaveOurOceans #BeatPlasticPollution #LOON #love

6 out of 7 species of marine turtle are endangered! It’s time to do our part and spread the word about the importance of our sea turtles! #WorldSeaTurtleDay #LOON #Lovingouroceansnow #love #turtles #plasticwaste #ocean #turtle #marine #sea #Conservation #wildlife #animals

More is known about the moon's surface than the depths of the ocean. 12 people have stepped foot on the moon, but only three have been to the Mariana Trench — the deepest part of the ocean, at roughly 7 miles (11 kilometers) deep. #ocean #trench #LOON #love #moon #marine #deep

“Manta” is Spanish for “cloak” which refers to their large blanket-shaped bodies. #manta #ocean #love #conservation #LOON #lovingouroceansnow #conservation #cloack #blanket #spanish #PlasticsAction

[Loving Our Oceans Now @lovingouroceans]

We know that there are 11 species in the ray family, counting both manta rays and mobula rays (now among the world’s most threatened fish). Manta rays were only split into two species in 2009, and there's probably a third species residing in the Atlantic.
#ocean #reef #LOON #love

[Loving Our Oceans Now @lovingouroceans]

The global catch of manta and mobula rays has dramatically increased over the last decade due to demand for their gill rakers from China, where they are sold as medicinal products. #manta #ocean #LOON #lovingouroceansnow #love #conservation #protection #protection

Dolphins have been my favourite animal since I can remember, although I haven't quite finished the book yet, it has made me fall more and more in love with these creatures within every page. #dolpins #LOON #lovingouroceansnow #dolphinslaughter #love @RichardOBarry @caseymaui

[Loving Our Oceans Now @lovingouroceans]

It's time to stand up and protect our whales. Fin Whales are highly endangered and this ban was set in to protect these majestic creatures! What can you do? You can sign petitions, you can email politicians, and SPREAD THE WORD! #whaling #iceland #LOON
