21 stunning photos to celebrate the Pacific on World Oceans Day

If you’ve spent any time on Instagram lately you've probably noticed there's a #national_____day for everything now. While we may roll our eyes at the likes of National Bean Day (January 6) or National Smile Power Day (June 15), we are enthusiastically supportive of today being World Oceans Day. The whole goal of today’s watery theme is to offer an "opportunity to honor, help protect and conserve the world’s oceans." We may be stuck at the office today, but we’re celebrating our glorious Pacific Ocean by pulling together some of the most beautiful photos we could find from Long Beach to the Channel Islands.
