Oceans have been around since the beginning of time and hold a tremendous amount of influence on our planet. They are a source of food, energy, recreation, and even inspiration for many. Oceans are also a crucial part of our global climate system, regulating temperatures and weather patterns across the world.The ocean is home to an incredible variety of creatures, from microscopic plankton to massive whales. It’s estimated that over two million species live in the ocean. This makes it one of the most diverse habitats on Earth. Oceans also provide many resources for humans such as seafood, oil & gas reserves, and recreational activities like boating and swimming.In addition to its practical uses, oceans play an important role in preserving life on Earth by absorbing excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere which helps mitigate global warming. The ocean is also responsible for providing up to 80 percent of the oxygen we breathe. Oceans act as natural barriers against storms and extreme weather events like hurricanes. They can slow down or even stop these storms before they reach land by absorbing their energy as they pass over them. This protects us from potential destruction or loss due to severe weather conditions. Unfortunately, oceans are under threat due to pollution caused by human activities such as dumping garbage into them or overfishing which can deplete entire populations of certain species if not monitored properly. Climate change has also had a major impact on our oceans with rising sea levels leading to coastal erosion and threatening habitats for marine life such as coral reefs. We need to take action now in order to protect our oceans so that future generations can enjoy all that it has to offer us. We can do this by participating in beach cleanups or supporting organizations dedicated towards preserving marine life habitats & ecosystems such as The Ocean Conservancy or Sea Defenders International. We must make sure that we are doing what we can today so that tomorrow’s oceans will be healthy and full of life.
