June 8, 2020, was World Oceans Day, which aims to raise awareness in protecting and restoring our oceans and its resources. Earth observing satellites continuously watch over the ocean to monitor and protect our environment. Covering more than 70 percent of Earth’s surface, the oceans are what makes this our “Blue Planet.†Our seas influence the climate, produce the oxygen we breathe, serve as a means of transport and a major source of food and resources.
