The oceans are fundamental to all life on earth. Healthy oceans:
- produce half of the planet’s oxygen
- provide nourishment such as seafood
- regulate temperature and control climatic systems such as rainfall
- protect coasts from erosion
- provide medical treatments for diseases such as cancer
- provide the largest store of carbon in the world
