Every single form of life that is known as a past in the ocean, from a single cell to us. Earth was lifeless 3.5 billion years ago, but in a certain point, molecules start to interact with the environment creating something very important to live\u2026 Oxygen! And it started in the ocean. The small cells were first acting on their own and then they started to cooperate, forming more complex colonies, originating plants and sea animals. Eventually, life came out of the ocean adapting to new terrestrial environments.

We struggle to realize that it\u2019s us depending on you and not the other way round. So now it\u2019s time to save ourselves by saving the ocean. So let\u2019s do it! We as humans are powerful in our achievements and even taking individual actions, many drops are forming an ocean. So let\u2019s reduce our negative impact in using less material like plastic, making more out of things we can\u2019t avoid, like reuse and recycle. Let\u2019s take care of what we eat by choosing sustainable products and reasonable amounts. We don\u2019t need to have seafood on our plates every day and when we do we can select labels like MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) which assures us that our food comes from a stock which is still doing well and take in a way which is not harming. Like this, the wildlife has the chances to recover and everyone can play its vital role in this huge ecosystem. Let\u2019s help to create more sanctuaries where the flora and fauna can recover from our exploits and all of us will profit again.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<span lang=\"EN-US\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/18556402_1555736064496847_6900728141468847837_n.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"650\" data-original-width=\"960\" height=\"432\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/18556402_1555736064496847_6900728141468847837_n.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<span lang=\"EN-US\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<span lang=\"EN-US\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">Thanks to everybody who is joining us in our cause to save us by taking care of the ocean!<\/span><br \/>\n<span lang=\"EN-US\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<i><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Verdana&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;\">Written by In\u00eas Coelho, Victor Ojeda Martin &amp;<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;\">Carine Zimmermann<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Today is the world Ocean day, and because of that, we are here to thank the entire oceans&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":20858,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[8,238,5,15,267,268],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.2 -
