Besides just offering their beauty, the ocean produces over half of the world’s oxygen and stores 50 times more carbon dioxide than our atmosphere.
Covering 70% of the Earth’s surface, the ocean transports heat from the equator to the poles, regulating our climate and weather patterns.
The ocean provides much more than just seafood. Ingredients from the sea are found in surprising foods such as peanut butter and soymilk.
