Today is World Oceans Day. Cartoon by Kfir Weizman. More cartoons: www.cartoonmovement.com #WorldOceansDay #ocean #sea #plastic

Cartoon showing a fish swimming in a very polluted ocean with pieces of plastic floating around. The fish is wearing a breather apparatus, connected by a straw to a bottle with clean water that is sticking out above the surface (like a snorkel).

Two Black Headed Gulls enjoying the sea to celebrate #WorldOceansDay and for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme. There's something magical about being by the ocean... the rhythm of the waves, the endless ebb and flow of the tide soothes the soul. Happy new week! 🤍🕊️ #Birds #Photography #UKWildlife #ECK

A photograph showing two gulls flying low over waves that were crashing on to the shore. The image almost appears black and white with only the gulls legs, feet and bills showing colour red.

Loved all those, particularly the Frigatebird with the fish. Though I also loved the framing on the Wimbrel.

Here's an Australian Pelican for #WorldOceansDay. 🌊🐦 I hope one day I can visit other countries to photograph their pelicans. I absolutely love them and that there are different colours! 🌍📸✨ #BirdOfTheDay #photography #nature #naturephotography #wildlife #photography #pelican #seabirds #ocean

A majestic Australian Pelican stands prominently in the foreground on a mossy, textured reef shoreline. The bird, featuring crisp white plumage contrasted by dark, defined wing feathers, faces directly toward the camera with an intense, curious gaze from its bright yellow eyes. Its long, pale pink bill extends downward, tipped with a hint of blue, and it stands on sturdy, pale blue-grey legs. The background is a soft, out-of-focus expanse of blue ocean with gentle white-capped waves, grounding the scene in a tranquil coastal environment.

Alan has picked #WorldOceansDay for #BirdOfTheDay theme! Celebrating any sea or river bird! I'm posting an amazing memory from Nicaragua a few years ago when we saw Brown pelicans dive to catch fish! Here is a little set of one😁 #Birds #Photography #Nature #Sony #BirdLife #NaturePhotography #ECK

Monster from the deep? Or angel arising? Either way, this Black-headed gull on a fishing expedition by the Rhone river is my pick for today's #BirdoftheDay theme of #WorldOceansDay by @alan678.bsky.social #photography #birds

Friendly reminder that the ocean isn't lost yet - and the communities who've been protecting it for generations are still fighting for it. This #WorldOceansDay, their stories deserve to be heard 👇 www.greenpeace.org/internationa...

These are not all river rocks. 🪶 #BirdOfTheDay #WorldOceansDay

An American Dipper swimming near smooth, grey river rocks in a green colored river. The bird blends in as it is very similar in color and shape to the nearby rocks.

For the #BirdOfTheDay theme of #WorldOceansDay, I’m sharing a Great Frigatebird that I saw on the island of #Kauai in 2007. Unfortunately it was at a low point in my life and I’ve never gotten a chance to back under better circumstances.
