To celebrate World Oceans Day<\/strong> this year, we asked people across the world to show their support for ocean protection by painting themselves blue and performing human waves!<\/p>\n\n

From Russia to Senegal, New Zealand to Chile, and Bulgaria to Thailand, people took action in fun and creative ways in 25 countries<\/strong> across all<\/em> seven continents <\/strong>(yep, even Antarctica!), to show world leaders we care about our oceans.<\/p>\n\n

Have a flick through our gallery of photos from around the world, and why not join in for our next activity?!<\/p>\n\n
