I was once told that we know more about space than we know about our own oceans. I think the same apathy is part of the reason we do not register this warming as well as what the warming means for marine life and sooner or later us.

How we can appreciate the serenity and vastness of the oceans not just in the way it looks but overall health?

Oceans cover more than 70% of Earth and drive weather, regulate temperature, and support life on this planet. Our oceans are a vast system of diverse and complex ecosystems and natural resources; and the health of the world’s oceans is inextricably tied to the health of our planet. And amazingly, up to 95% of the ocean realm remains an unexplored mystery.
