Did you know that over 70% of our planet is covered by the ocean? Home to more than 230,000 species, and countless yet to be discovered, the ocean is a haven of diversity and wonder. And beyond its breathtaking beauty, these waters are a crucial regulator of Earth's climate as they absorb and store massive amounts of solar energy. The ocean also plays a significant role in mitigating a warming planet by acting as a vast carbon sink, absorbing a substantial portion of the carbon dioxide (CO2) we release into the atmosphere.
