The oceans, which cover most of the Earth’s surface, are crucial to the planet’s survival. They provide fresh air, regulate the climate, and ensure food security. During the World Oceans Day celebration aboard the SA Agulhas II Research vessel in Cape Town Harbour, Minister of Forestry, Fisheries, and the Environment, Ms. Barbara Creecy, pointed out the responsibility to protect the oceans and marine life. She underlined the need for collaboration with local and international partners to ensure the longterm sustainability of oceans.
