World Oceans Day 2023

World Ocean Day 2023 beach fence dune grass sea shells
Two years ago I wrote, I've blogged […a whole lot about water…] WOD almost every year since 2011—missed only 2014.

But then I [completely inadvertently, of course] missed last year, 2022, and this year is a squeaker, which wouldn't be a concern except missing 2022 and barely getting to 2023 is majorly distressing because despite all the emails from the many nature, environment, and planet-related causes and organizations I follow, how did that happen?

Back when Crazy Cris / Cristina B held an annual Oceanic Blog-a-thon, I did some interesting stuff. Later on, for 2017 I even composed a nice poem. This year I finally updated my fave WOD graphic with my two best beach fence, dune grass, sea shells WOD photos. By the way, back in those earlyish internet days, the WOD peeps provided some exceptionally colorful and inventive graphics.

Notwithstanding the lack of fun new ocean art, the official World Oceans Day website contains a ton of fascinating, helpful, and actionable information. I recently discovered and enjoyed World Oceans Day on World Wildlife Fund UK.

In any case, we gotta remember the theme for 2023, Planet Ocean: Tides are Changing. Hashtags include #WOD2023 – #WorldOceansDay – #OceanFirst. Here's another reminder to stay aware of your watershed, too. And you know #WaterIsLife!
