Oceans cover over 70% of the Earth’s surface and are essential for climate balance, biodiversity, economic activity, and human health.
Oceans host millions of species—from microscopic plankton to whales. Marine biodiversity supports resilience and ecosystem health.
Oceans absorb CO2 and help regulate global temperatures. Marine plants like algae produce oxygen and filter carbon.
Fisheries, shipping, tourism, and resource extraction contribute to economies globally. Sustainable use ensures long-term benefits.
Seafood is a vital source of nutrition for billions. Clean oceans help ensure the quality and safety of what we eat.
From spiritual meaning to beach tourism, oceans are deeply woven into human culture and leisure, boosting well-being and economies alike.
