CBC National Radio Sharks! In
charge of the Eco-system in our oceans
Eco Tourism; watching sharks in their natural
habitat is worth $300,000,000 per year and expected to grow to over
$700,000,000 per year. They are worth more alive than dead.
Sharks are in charge of the Eco-system in our
oceans. They eat sick fish and control the population of invasive creatures, encouraging the growth of healthy fish. The number of Sharks has declined by 97% in recent years.
This fact should alarm all of us.

maxing out the Earth's natural resources in an effort to meet growing consumer
demand. Ocean resources are of particular concern.

Belize, Guatemala and Honduras. The Water Brothers: The Big Thaw The North Pole is melting faster than ever. The Northwest Passage will

sea levels; the fate of the world depends on slowing the Big Thaw. Green Hero: Rob Stewart Rob Stewart is the award-winning director of "Sharkwater." His
provocative documentary challenges the age-old image of sharks as

The concept was proposed on June 8th, 1992 by
Canada, at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It was
unofficially celebrated every year as World Oceans Day until the UN
proclamation. It has been coordinated internationally since then by The
Ocean Project, and the World Ocean Network, with greater success and
global participation each year.
World Oceans Day is an opportunity every year to honour the world’s
oceans, celebrate the products the ocean provides such as seafood as
well as marine life itself for aquariums, pets, and also a time to
appreciate its own intrinsic value. The ocean also provides sea-lanes
for international trade. Global pollution and over-consumption of fish
have resulted in drastically dwindling population of the majority of species.
The Ocean Project, working in partnership with the World Ocean
Network, with its network of over 1,600 organizations and others
throughout the world, has been promoting World Oceans Day since 2003.
These groups have been working to build greater awareness of the crucial
role of the ocean in our lives, and the important ways that people can
help.
World Oceans Day provides us an opportunity to get directly involved
in protecting our future, through a new mindset and personal and
community action and involvement, such as beach cleanups, educational
programs, art contests, film festivals, sustainable seafood events, and
other planned activities help to raise consciousness of how our lives
depend on the oceans. World Oceans Day Canada, and World Oceans Week
Canada, were conceived in 2009 by a few people with passion for the
world that we live in.
The board of directors has since grown to include experienced
business and environmental champions from coast to coast. World Oceans
Day Canada (WODC) is pleased to announce their partnership with Oceans
Networks Canada (ONC), a University of Victoria initiative, and now a
world leader in marine exploration. Both organizations are dedicated to
the preservation and sustainability of our waterways and oceans through
education and action.
“WODC is very excited about the world renown marine observation
systems at ONC, Venus and Neptune Canada, as well as their Ship To Shore
educational tools,” said executive director of World Oceans Day Canada,
Stephen Freitag. “We are pleased to have their input on our website.”
Natasha Ewing of Ocean Networks Canada will sit on the Steering
Committee of World Oceans Day Canada, bringing a focus on education for
the K to 12 age groups, and community action activities.
