World Sea Day is celebrated since 1978 on one of the days of the last week of September. This international holiday was created in order to draw public attention to the problems of pollution of the seas and the disappearance of animal species living in them. After all, over the past 100 years, according to the UN, some fish species, including cod and tuna, were caught by 90%, and every year about 21 million barrels of oil fall into the seas and oceans.
All this causes irreparable damage to the seas, oceans and can lead to the death of their inhabitants. These include those that we will discuss in our selection.
- Octopus Dumbo. This name is given to the animal due to earlike formations protruding from the top of his head, which resemble the ears of Disney's baby elephant Dambo
- The bat is short-curved. This fish attracts attention, first of all, its unusual appearance, namely bright red lips on the front part of the body. As previously thought, they are necessary to attract marine life, which feeds the bat.
