What’s blue and in trouble? World Oceans Day 2020
It provides over half of the world’s oxygen, it’s the primary source of food for more than a billion people, home to the greatest abundance of life on our planet… and it’s in serious trouble. You guessed it, it’s the big blue.
Monday, 8 June marks World Oceans Day and the theme this year is Innovation for a sustainable ocean – a theme that speaks to an amazing breadth and depth of activity at the University of Newcastle.
This World Oceans Day, experts from our Faculty of Science have weighed in on issues of critical importance to our oceans.
