International Day of the Seal is recognized by zoos and aquariums worldwide. Types of seals include Crabeater, Elephant, Fur, Leopard, Ross, Weddell, and Sea Lions. In total, there are 18 known species of seals. International Day of the Seal is rumored to have been created by a congressional declaration in 1982. We went through all the public laws originating in the 97th Congress for 1981 and 1982, and there is no such declaration. That doesn't mean it isn't an event worthy of recognition. Seals are essential to marine ecosystems around the world.

Water Day, World: March 22

06:20 AM | -

World Water Day is led by UN-Water, focusing on water conservation and use, blending the natural and social sciences, education, culture, and communication. Contrary to popular belief, the most valuable natural resource in the Middle East is water, not oil. People can live without oil. Nothing lives without water. Control of rivers and aquifers underlies the conflicts in the region and has for centuries. Religion is the excuse used to mobilize and conscript. Water is a primary reason. The Middle East is simply a microcosm of the global issues surrounding water. Water is essential to poverty reduction and equity. It creates economic benefits, helps preserve all natural resources, and safe, secure access to water builds peace. World Water Day is devoted to caring for this precious natural resource and educating the world on its need and conservation.
