World Oceans Day June 8, 2014. (Genesis One TV)
Sunday 8 June is World Oceans Day, an event to raise global awareness about threats to the oceans and promote marine conservation. The special day has been recognized by the United Nations since 2008.
According to World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), more than 80% of marine pollution is caused by land-based activities that cause oil spills, fertilizers and toxic chemical runoff and the discharge of untreated sewage.
Some water pollution starts also as air pollution, which settles into waterways and oceans, according to the United States' National Ocean Service.
IBTimes UK looks at the most polluted oceans areas and seas in the world here.
