NOTES ABOUT WORLD OCEANS DAY
In June 1992, the UK Prime Minister and over 150 other Heads of States
signed the Convention on Biological Diversity at Rio de Janeiro. They did so
to express a shared belief that action must be taken to halt the worldwide
loss of animal and plant species and genetic resources. World Oceans Day
was first declared as 8th June at the Earth Summit.
