🌊Happy World Ocean Day!🌊
World Ocean Day helps unite millions around the world each June to protect our blue planet!
Every nation depends on a healthy ocean for climate stability, biodiversity, and human well-being.
I was born in the beautiful Croatia, with its rugged, mountainous, and highly indented coast that is home to over 1,300 islands, with an exceptionally dense and popular island archipelago.
The Adriatic Sea and its crystal-clear, deep-blue waters are renowned as a premier destination for European summer holidays, sailing, and cultural heritage.
And although we are very proud and grateful for being one of Europe’s most popular holiday destination in recent times, the challenges of overtourism and its negative impact on our beautiful beaches and sea, fragile ecosystems, historical landmarks, and wildlife are increasingly causing their severe wear and tear.
As the visitors to our beautiful country this summer, you too can take action by staying informed about overtourism issues, making conscious travel decisions that help distribute tourist traffic, and engaging in sustainable behaviors to minimize their negative impact. Simple actions like visiting at off-peak times, respecting cultural norms, reducing waste, and supporting local businesses can make a difference.
So, let’s all join together today, celebrate World Ocean Day and honour the seas and ocean, celebrate its biodiversity and ecosystems. By working together we can create a better future with an abundant ocean and a stable climate.
One Ocean, One Climate, One Future — Together
