The Importance of Oceans
Oceans cover about 71% of the Earth's surface and contain 97% of the planet's water. They are crucial to regulating climate, sustaining biodiversity, and supporting human societies.
Threats to Our Oceans
- Pollution: Plastic, oil spills, and chemicals severely affect marine life.
- Climate Change: Rising temperatures lead to ocean acidification and coral bleaching.
- Overfishing: Unsustainable fishing practices deplete fish stocks.
What You Can Do
Everyone can contribute to ocean protection by reducing plastic usage, supporting sustainable seafood choices, and advocating for clean energy policies.
