Today is World Oceans Day, a worldwide celebration of the ocean and the benefits it provides to everyone on our blue planet. It helps regulate our climate and our water cycle, supplies oxygen to the atmosphere, provides food for billions of people, and is the source of medicines, materials, and uncountable moments of wonder and inspiration. Which means that, in reality, every day on Earth is World Oceans Day. (Photo by Amy Kukulya, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
