An Ocean of Caring

I've always been amazed at the fact that the water in the ocean is the same water that rains on us. I could sit on the beach for hours just staring at the huge blue ocean and I don't know why, but it always has such a calming effect. Today is World Ocean Day. Created in 1992 at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro - although not yet officially designated by the United Nations - World Oceans Day is an opportunity each year to celebrate our world ocean and our personal connection to the sea.

Be sure to check out my latest article in the June 2009 issue of Stories for Children Magazine titled, An Ocean of Caring. Today's a wonderful day to teach young readers about the importance of our ocean, what it offers us, and what we need to do to protect it.
