There are ecosystems like coral reefs [at risk] through ocean acidification. Those are valuable things that we should protect.

— Bill Gates

Beneath the ocean surface, bad things are happening. Increasing CO2 makes ocean water more acid, and that threatens to dissolve the shells of some…

The ocean governs the climate and the weather, it is taking care of the temperature and it is shaping the chemistry of our planet.

— Sylvia Earle

Every fish fertilizes the water in a way that generates the plankton that ultimately leads back into the food chain, but also yields oxygen,…
