World Oceans Day: Protect our blue ocean

(ECNS)--Oceans cover 71% of our planet and are home to more than half of the species living on Earth. Over three billion people depend on marine and coastal biodiversity for their livelihoods. World Oceans Day falls on June 8 and reminds us just how important a sustainable ocean is for all wildlife on Earth.

China has been actively fulfilling its commitment to marine protection, participating in international cooperation on marine protection, and proposing the concept of a community with a shared future for oceans.
