This years observance has for the first time in history taken as its theme. "We Care About Oceans." to remind us how precious our oceans are and what we must do to preserve them. As Americans. living in a nation surrounded on three sides by water. we cannot help but be cognizant of the many roles oceans have played. and will continue to play in our lives. As a nation of immigrants. untold Americans traversed wide oceans to come here to start new lives. their journey by boat never to be forgotten. As a provider of food for millions of Americans as well as employing thousands of men and women along our shores. the waters that surround our country have become an important natural resource vital to our health and wellbeing. At a time when energy has become one of our Nations utmost concerns. we have turned to the oceans to help us. today supplying us with oil and gas. and tomorrow yielding tidal power and ocean thermal energy conversion.
