World Oceans Day: Photos from around Canada

June 8 is World Oceans Day — a day to celebrate the seas and discuss how to protect it and the flora and fauna that live in them for generations to come.

Canada is surrounded by three oceans — the Pacific, the Arctic and the Atlantic. Here are some of the great photos shared on social media with the hashtag #WorldOceansDay from Canada.
