Guanabara Bay, where the Rio JJ.O. will be held, is one of the most polluted in the world. Every day is a day dedicated to something. It is not just an anaphora, but I mean that every day organizations like the UN, UNESCO and the like, you take advantage of it to raise the world's awareness of what is happening. In this case, June 8 has had its 24 hours dedicated to World Oceans Day. This comes as a ring to the finger when we are at the door of some Olympic Games, which are made in an ocean, in this case the Atlantic, and its waters are a true sea of crap. The past Barcelona World Race was dedicated precisely to this, to raising awareness of the current situation in which the world's oceans are located. Sailing fans sure have heard of 'One Planet, One Ocean', this was the slogan that Aleix Gelabert and Didac Costa carried in the last round of the world to two. Well, we have a planet that we're all taking. A simple plastic bag, a can or a simple buttock, causes brutal contamination. And I don't want to think about what has happened, and our regatists will pass through the very polluted bay of Guanabara in Rio de Janeiro. According to the UN "the oceans are the heart of our planet. Just as heartbeat causes blood to flow all over the body, the oceans connect people all over the world, regardless of where they live. They also regulate the climate, feed millions of people, produce oxygen, are the habitat of a wide variety of living beings and provide us with medicines and many more resources. In order to ensure the health of our communities and future generations, it is essential that we take care of the oceans with the same intensity as they take care of us. This year's motto is" A healthy ocean, a healthy planet. "Unfortunately, some human activities, such as illegal fishing, unsustainable aquaculture practices, marine pollution and the destruction of the alien habitat and species, as well as climate change and ocean acidification, have a negative impact on the oceans and seas. This year's theme is healthy oceans, a healthy planet, and we are making a special effort to stop the contamination by plastics. This is a serious threat because the plastic is very slowly degraded and contaminates the waterways for a long time. In addition, the pollution of plastics harms the health of marine animals, including zooplankton, because they confuse micro particles with food, scientists fear even that it has harmful effects on human health." Either we raise awareness, or we die with them. Text: Jaume Soler Blog: www.jaumesoler.net Twitter: @ SolerAlberti
