Today is World Aquatic Animal Day!
This day is meant to celebrate animals that live in the water in general. From the tiniest plankton to the mightiest blue whale. Aquatic animals are very diverse. They are vertebrates and invertebrates. They can breathe in the water or air. They can come in a variety of forms.
This day was created in 2010 by the Animal Law Clinic at the Lewis & Clark Animal Law School in Portland, Oregon. They created this day to promote the protection of marine life. Marine life does face its fair share of threats, from overhunting to global warming. Marine biodiversity is very important for things like helping maintain water quality and even food security.
