Divers visiting the ancient seaport of Caesarea on Israel’s Mediterranean coast occasionally find treasure, but for World Oceans Day they searched for trash.

Is this something to be concerned about? Many scientists feel it isn’t, but then again, it’s not everyday an iceberg the size of Rhode Island breaks free from Antarctica.

Today is World Oceans Day and admittedly there seems to be a day for everything: hug your cat, eat your donut, have ice cream for breakfast...you can find a reason to celebrate for anything. Pretty obviously, the oceans bring us great pleasure, water activities, seafood, a mode for travel and not to mention 70% of the worlds oxygen. But the sea life that doesnt swim, like sea sponges and coral, are incredibly relevant to the development of antiviral drugs, like Remdesivir, being used as a treatment for Covid-19 patients to help shorten the length of time fighting the coronavirus.

So the next time you hear about celebrating our oceans or, more than likely, SAVING our oceans, remember that its not just about a boat trip on a Sunday afternoon.
