Summertime is finally here! 'Tis the season for trips to the beach and forgetting about your cold, wintery ex. If, like everyone else in the world, Gotye's "Somebody That I Used To Know" has become your official breakup anthem and you've listened to the original and every remix on YouTube an inappropriate number of times in the past few months, you'll be happy to know we've found another!

In this cute cover, One World One Ocean is using the song that stole our hearts to save our oceans. We've followed it up with a bunch of fun facts provided by One World One Ocean…and pics of Gotye's face superimposed onto a mermaid's body. Why? Because we can.

+If Gotye Were a Mermaid, He Would Totally Live In Here:

Kelp habitats are the rainforests of the ocean and every mermaid's paradise. Kelp isn't just important to fish!  A kelp product named Algin is used in salad dressing, ice cream, and even toothpaste! Polluted runoff can affect ocean water quality and kelp growth. You'd be surprised by how many inland water sources actually flow into the ocean, so do your best to keep your local rivers, streams, and drainpipes clean.

+If Gotye Were a Mermaid, He Would Probably Hate it Here:

The Arctic is no place for mermaids, but it is a place for polar bears! Global warming is causing sea ice to melt rapidly -- leaving arctic land animals with no place to live. According to One World One Ocean, you can reduce your impact on the arctic by using less gas and electricity.

+If Gotye Were a Mermaid, He Would SO Party Here:

Coral reefs are like the giant, ongoing rave of the ocean. There's neon everywhere, and tons of fish that are totally down to party all night with merman Gotye. At almost 1,615 miles long, Australia's Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest coral reef system. One of the greatest threats to the reef is polluted farm water, which flows from Australian rivers into the ocean.

Although the ocean accounts for nearly 71% of our planet, less than 2% of it is protected. Cray, right? From kelp forests to the arctic to the coral reef join One World One Ocean in protecting our oceans and wildlife by taking action below.
