The Ocean: Earth’s Lifeline Beneath the Waves

Covering more than 70% of our planet, the ocean is the heartbeat of Earth. It regulates climate, produces over half of the oxygen we breathe, and supports an extraordinary diversity of life—from microscopic plankton to majestic whales. Every wave carries stories of ancient ecosystems, powerful currents, and delicate balances that sustain our world.

Beyond its beauty, the ocean is a vital provider. It feeds billions, supports global trade, and offers livelihoods to coastal communities. Coral reefs protect shorelines from storms, mangroves store carbon, and seagrass meadows nurture young marine species. Yet this vast blue world is under threat from pollution, overfishing, warming waters, and plastic waste.

Protecting the ocean begins with small actions: reducing plastic use, supporting sustainable seafood, conserving water, and spreading awareness. When we care for the ocean, we care for ourselves—because a healthy ocean means a healthy planet.
