UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s message for World Oceans Day8 June， 2010联合国秘书长潘基文2010年世界海洋日致辞2010年6月8 日Oceans play a key role in our daily They are integral to sustainable development and an important frontier for As scientists explore the oceans at greater depths than ever before， they continue to discover new forms of marine This research has great potential to advance human well-海洋在我们的日常生活中发挥着关键作用，是可持续发展的有机组成部分，是重要的科研前沿地带。科学家正在对海洋进行前所未有的深入探索，他 们不断发现新形式的海洋生物。这一研究很有可能为人类谋取福祉。But， if we are to fully benefit from what oceans have to offer， we must address the damaging impacts of human The diversity of life in the oceans is under ever-increasing Over-exploitation of marine living resources， climate change， and pollution from hazardous materials and activities all pose a grave threat to the marine So does the growth of criminal activities， including piracy， which have serious implications for the security of navigation and the safety of 但是，如果我们希望充分得益于海洋所能带来的惠益，我们就必须消除人类活动产生的破坏影响。海洋生物多样性正日益面临更大压力。对海洋生物 资源的过度开发、气候变化及有害物质和活动所致的污染，这些都对海洋环境构成严重威胁。犯罪活动的增加，包括海盗行为，同样也是严重威胁，对航行安全和海 员的安全有着严重影响。Much action is already being taken within the framework of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea — our “constitution for the oceans” More than 15 years after the Convention’s entry into force， it continues to act as our But if we are to safeguard the capacity of the oceans to service society’s many and varied needs， we need to do much On this second annual commemoration of World Oceans Day， I urge Governments and citizens everywhere to acknowledge the enormous value of the world’s oceans — and do their part in ensuring their health and 已开始在1982年《联合国海洋法公约》框架内采取许多行动，该公约是我们的“海洋宪法”。该公约生效已有15年之久，但它仍是我们的行动 导向。然而，如欲保障海洋服务于人类社会多种多样需要的能力，我们还需要做更多工作。在此世界海洋日两周年活动之际，我促请各国政府和世界各地公民认同世 界各大洋的巨大价值，各尽所能，确保各大洋的健康和活力。
Marine life is a vast resource， providing food， medicine， and raw materials， in addition to helping to support recreation and tourism all over the At a fundamental level， marine life helps determine the very nature of our Marine organisms contribute significantly to the oxygen cycle， and are involved in the regulation of the Earth's Shorelines are in part shaped and protected by marine life， and some marine organisms even help create new Marine biology covers a great deal， from the microscopic， including most zooplankton and phytoplankton to the huge cetaceans (whales) which reach up to a reported 48 meters (125 feet) in The habitats studied by marine biology include everything from the tiny layers of surface water in which organisms and abiotic items may be trapped in surface tension between the ocean and atmosphere， to the depths of the oceanic trenches， sometimes 10，000 meters or more beneath the surface of the It studies habitats such as coral reefs， kelp forests， tidepools， muddy， sandy and rocky bottoms， and the open ocean (pelagic) zone， where solid objects are rare and the surface of the water is the only visible A large proportion of all life on Earth exists in the Exactly how large the proportion is unknown， since many ocean species are still to be While the oceans comprise about 71% of the Earth's surface， due to their depth they encompass about 300 times the habitable volume of the terrestrial habitats on EMany species are economically important to humans， including food It is also becoming understood that the well-being of marine organisms and other organisms are linked in very fundamental The human body of knowledge regarding the relationship between life in the sea and important cycles is rapidly growing， with new discoveries being made nearly every These cycles include those of matter (such as the carbon cycle) and of air (such as Earth's respiration， and movement of energy through ecosystems including the ocean) Large areas beneath the ocean surface still remain effectively 注意： 这篇文章里sea life被称为marine life， 其实都是一回事。
As we all know the sea food we eat is from the In the past，the oceans was very clean and beautifull，there were a lot of sea animals in But nowadays the oceans is dirty，many sea animals are we must keep them We must stop polluting The oceans is very important to us!
