June is Ocean month. This is not very well-known, unlike other special ‘days’ or ‘months’ which may have been marketed better and hence better known. The National Oceans Month is celebrated every June. This is to highlight the beauty and importance of our oceans. The Internet tells us that the month-long event encourages one to explore and cherish the vast blue stretches that cover 70 per cent of the Earth’s surface.
This paper ran a story stating how a city rapper and environment enthusiast is celebrating it by educating Instagrammers about marine life. He stated that Mumbai is a bio-diverse city adding that there are over 600 species of marine wildlife. The rapper is using hip-hop to educate people about oceans, marine life and preservation.
