WHY THE OCEAN

Planet Earth is the “blue planet”, an ocean planet. The majestic ocean supports and sustains every living species on the planet. We simply cannot survive without a healthy ocean. With every breath we take, with every drop we drink, we’re connected to the ocean. We and all living things depend on its vitality to support and sustain us. In addition to its beauty, therapeutic powers and recreational opportunities, the ocean does the following…
