Jason Momoa's message for World Oceans Day

Happy World Oceans Day! I had a big day yesterday and I'm in a "I can't be all DOOM all the time" mood, so I'm taking an entertainment angle on the environmental holiday, which I probably will do again next year when it falls on Sunday, by sharing videos about ocean conservation featuring Aquaman himself, Jason Momoa. I begin with a video I just missed last year, Jason Momoa message on World Oceans Day 2023 | United Nations.

In a recorded message from New Zealand, actor and ocean activist Jason Momoa said, “the human induced triple planetary crisis of climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss continues to weigh heavily on the ocean ecosystems and the communities that directly depend on it. If we don't change course. The oceans dire state will continue to apply. Doesn't have to be that way. Through reimagining our relationship with the ocean and working together to better understand prioritize and protect it, we can rebuild a preserve that help the ocean both now for future generations. I'm honored to be joining the United Nations family World Oceans Day. Celebrate how wonderful it is to live our blue planet and underscore the importance of prioritizing the oceans help, our own health.”

World Ocean Day is celebrated worldwide on 8 June Every Year.

I'm going to be a good environmentalist by recycling, twice, starting with People want pandas, so 'SNL' opens with a panda at Biden's press conference.

Momoa is not kidding about being an environmentalist. The United Nations describes his environmental work.

Award-winning actor, entrepreneur, and filmmaker Jason Momoa has long advocated for environmental issues and social justice. Of Polynesian and Hawaiian descent, he has lent his voice and platform to protecting the oceans and the rights of indigenous peoples and island nations. Momoa's entrepreneurial pursuits focus on advancing sustainable practices, products and packaging, including development of Mananalu, a water packaged in infinitely recyclable aluminum. His passion for environmental conservation is evident through his collaborations with organizations like Ocean Unite, Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii, Lonely Whale, and Kumano I Ke Ala. He advocates for marine protection, coral reef preservation, and global initiatives against plastic pollution and waste. Moreover, in addition to his direct involvement with SDG 14, "Life Below Water," and his profound dedication to ocean health and the protection of marine life, Momoa is actively involved in raising awareness of the issue of intersectional environmentalism and social justice through his production companies, Pride of Gypsies and On The Roam, which produces scripted and unscripted original content, branded content, and product collaborations.

Aquaman really did deserve its nomination for Feature Film at the 2019 Environmental Media Association Awards.

Speaking of Aquaman, I predicted that "I'm looking for Aquaman 2 to earn a nomination at the next EMA Awards" in The 2023-2024 Environmental Media Association Awards nominees. I'm also looking forward to seeing the movie on the next Saturn Awards ballot. Too bad it's almost certain to get crushed by Deadpool & Wolverine. The Marvel streak will continue.

Momoa also narrated Deep Rising, one of the documentary nominees at this year's EMA Awards, and featured in Common Ground, the EMA Award winner. He definitely supports his cause in his art!

The United Nations features Momoa in more videos, but I'm also being a good environmentalist by conserving my resources for next year, when World Oceans Day will also be the subject of the Sunday entertainment feature. Speaking of which, stay tuned for that tomorrow. Daytime Emmy Awards winners, anyone?
