The Cyprus Ports Authority, on the occasion of World Oceans Day, which is celebrated every year on 8 June, highlights the importance of the oceans and seas in all aspects of human activity. Protection and above all respect for the seas is a key factor in human well-being and therefore the actions of the international community, regional organisations, states and competent organisations must take into account the issues concerning the seas and oceans.
On the occasion of World Oceans Day, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Cyprus Port Authority, Dr. Antonis St.
"In the modern environment of our actions as societies and competent bodies, we must show our full respect and always act for the benefit of the marine environment and more broadly in the protection of our planet from climate change. To this end, we must continue to promote in our actions and activities the objectives of Sustainable Development, the green transition and support for the blue economy. This must be done in a collective and individual context with the aim of finding the necessary balance between human existence and the marine environment. As the Cyprus Ports Authority we are committed to the full implementation of national, European and international clauses concerning the sea and the transition to a sustainable tomorrow for the environment and people".
