World Oceans Day: International Day of Ocean Conservation

It’s World Oceans Day! Although ocean environmentalism may not be directly associated with our work at A Global Friendship, the oceans have special meaning to the organization. AGF founder Elizabeth Firgeleski was inspired to create the nonprofit after being caught in the 2004 Asian Tsunami disaster. The Thai people helped her to safety, and now with AGF she offers economic opportunity in gratitude and hope.

The oceans affect everyone around the world, no matter their economic status, geography, or culture. This year, the World Oceans Day theme is “Youth: The Next Wave for Change.” Check out the following sites for a wealth of information about how to get involved with celebrating and protecting our oceans and to learn more about why the oceans need our attention.
