Oceans cover 71% of the planet’s surface and are a life support system making up 97% of the world’s water and 95% of all space made available for life. Oceans are a key climate regulator, sequestering a third of all carbon emitted by human activity a year, controlling the weather and mediating temperature. With this alone, their importance to our existence is paramount.
In this episode of the Next Five, Céline Cousteau, Karine Measson, and Miguel Stilwell d'Andrade explore the oceans as a blue economy, a climate regulator, and a power generator all while reflecting on the importance of ocean preservation.
