Note: The various shades of blue represent the color of the ocean. The shapes represent ocean flora are are depicted in the colors of seaweed so that the presence of life often not seen can stand out. The circle representing continuity is vibrant so the message is clear that it is imperative we protect the world's ecosystems and their rich, diverse abundance of life. The vertical lines represent the world's coasts that can be found in the north, south, east and west while the curve on the right represents an incoming wave and the white-gray section that encompasses the "incoming wave" as well as the jagged white-gray areas on the bottom represent the ocean spray and foam that is generated by the energy of each incoming wave. The smiling face represents happiness when a homeostatic balance is maintained in the oceans around the world such that all forms of life, plant and animal alike, from the largest whales to the smallest of microorganisms, can flourish.
