The Ocean, it covers more than 70% of the surface if our planet, it provides us with food, medicine and even influences the weather.

For years its also helped to mitigate the effects of climate change. Since the 1970’s over 90% of atmospheric warming caused by green house gas emissions has been absorbed by our Oceans. But this comes at a cost.
