Our oceans are under threat from rising water levels due to climate change and from the increased pollution from plastic. It is important for us to understand the role the ocean plays in our daily lives. Did you know that the air we breathe is produced by the ocean? The ocean produces over half of the world's oxygen and absorbs 50 times more carbon dioxide than our atmosphere. It also plays a major part in climate regulation. Covering 70 percent of the Earth's surface, the ocean transports heat from the equator to the poles, regulating our climate and weather patterns. In short, if there is no ocean, there is no life as we know it on our planet. It is of absolute importance that we pay attention and preserve the health of this vital element that lets us live and breathe comfortably.
