I found this video on the official World Ocean Day website, I think its rather cute. Have a look to see what this day is all about: http://worldoceansday.org/.

I thought it would be fun to add some little facts about the Ocean, its really interesting. Try wrap your mind around this:

> Approximately 71% of the planet's surface is Ocean and Seas. 

> It is the habitat of 230,000 species known to science.

> The largest ocean on Earth is the Pacific Ocean, it covers around 30% of the Earth’s surface.

>The Pacific Ocean is surrounded by the Pacific Ring of Fire, a large number of active volcanoes.

Pretty awesome!!
